Elijah Fenton quotes

Wedded love is founded on esteem. (Elijah Fenton)
Beware of flattery! 'tis a flowery weed, Which oft offends the very idol-vice, Whose shrine it would perfume. View quote
Elijah Fenton
O blissful poverty! Nature, too partial! to thy lot assigns Health, freedom, innocence, and downy peace, Her real goods; and only mocks the great, With empty pageantries! View quote
