bounty quotes

The Pride of the peacock is the glory of God. The lust of the goat is the bounty of God. The wrath of the lion is the wisdom of God. The nakedness of woman is the work of God.

-William Blake
  The Marriage of Heaven and Hell,'Proverbs of Hell'.

Fallen from his high estate, And welt'ring in his blood: Deserted at his utmost need By those his former bounty fed; On the bare earth expos'd he lies, With not a friend to close his eyes.

-John Dryden
  Alexander's Feast, l.78^83.
