Great minds, like heaven, are pleased in doing good,
Though the ungrateful subjects of their favors
Are barren in return.Nicholas Rowe (1674–1718) English poet and dramatist
Tamerlane, Act 2, sc. 2 (1701)
Quotations by:
Rowe, Nicholas
CALISTA: That I must die! it is my only Comfort;
Death is the Privilege of human Nature,
And Life without it were not worth our taking;
Thither the Poor, the Pris’ner, and the Mourner,
Fly for Relief, and lay their Burthens down.Nicholas Rowe (1674–1718) English poet and dramatist
The Fair Penitent, Act 5, sc. 1, l. 137ff (1703)
