Matthew Prior English Poet Quotations

They talk most who have the least to say.

Hope is but the dream of those who wake.

And 'tis remarkable that they talk most who have the least to say.

Be to their virtue very kind; be to their faults a little blind.

For, when with beauty we can virtue join, We paint the semblance of a form divine.

For hope is but a dream for those that wake.

Hopes are but the dreams of those that wake.
