Alexander Pope on Change
← Back to Alexander Pope Profile
“Till Peter's keys some christen'd Jove adorn, And Pan to Moses lends his Pagan horn.”
“Alas! in truth, the man but chang'd his mind, Perhaps was sick, in love, or had not dined.”
“Manners with Fortunes, Humours turn with Climes, Tenets with Books, and Principles with Times.”
“See dying vegetables life sustain, See life dissolving vegetate again; All forms that perish other forms supply; (By turns we catch the vital breath and die).”
