Women enjoyed (whatsoe'er before they've been) Are like romances read, or sights once seen: Fruition's dull, and spoils the play much more Than if one read or knew the plot before; 'Tis expectation makes a blessing dear; It were not heaven, if we knew what it were.
Sir John Suckling— 1646 'Against Fruition'.
Of all Religions if we take a View,There is but one that ever can be true, —One God, One Christ, One Spirit, none but He.All else is Idol, whatsoe'er it be,—A Good that our Imaginations make,Unless we love it purely for His Sake.
john byrom— St. 3.
Success, the mark no mortal wit, Or surest hand, can always hit: For whatsoe'er we perpetrate, We do but row, we're steer'd by Fate, Which in success oft disinherits, For spurious causes, noblest merits.
— Samuel Butler, Hudibras, Part I (1663-64), Canto I, line 879.
