Chapter VISAGE to WANDERINGS of Index by Grocott's Quotations - Alpha

Voxpopulivox Dei, is quoted as a proverb in the twelfth century.

Riley’s Dict. of Classical Quotations, 506.

VOTE.—And as they sail in Charon’s boat,
Contrive to bribe the judge’s vote:
To Cerberus they give a sop,
His triple barking mouth to stop.

Swift.—On Poetry.

VULGAR.—Above the vulgar flight of common souls.

Murphy.—Zenobia, Act V.

WAGER.—Most men (till by losing render’d sager)
Will back their own opinions with a wager.

Byron.—Beppo, Stanza 27.

Quoth she, I’ve heard old cunning stagers
Say, fools for arguments use wagers.

Butler.—Hudibras, Part II. Canto I. Line 297.

WAKE—To wake the soul by tender strokes of art,
To raise the genius, and to mend the heart;
To make mankind, in conscious virtue bold,
Live o’er each scene, and be what they behold:
For this the tragic muse first trod the stage.

Pope.—Prologue to Addison’s Cato.

WALKING.—Imprudent men heaven’s choicest gifts profane;
Thus some beneath their arm support the cane,
The dirty point oft checks the careless pace,
And miry spots the clean cravat disgrace.
Oh! may I never such misfortune meet!
May no such vicious walkers crowd the street!

Gay.—Trivia, Book I. Line 75.

WANDERINGS.—In all my wanderings through this world of care,
In all my griefs—and God has given my share—
I still had hopes, my latest hours to crown,
Amidst these humble bowers to lay me down.

Goldsmith.—Deserted Village, Line 83.
