More From Alexander Pope

Antiquity! thou wondrous charm, what art thou? that being nothing art everything? when thou wert, thou wert not antiquity - then thou wert nothing, but hadst a remoter antiquity, as thou calledst it, to look back to with blind veneration; thou thyself being to thyself flat, jejune, modern! what mystery lurks in this retroversion? or what half januses are we, that cannot look forward with the same idolatry with which we for ever revert! the mighty future is as nothing, being everything! the past is everything, being nothing!

O majesty unspeakable and dread!wert thou less mighty than thou art,thou wert, o lord, too great for our belief,too little for our heart.
Art Littles Majesty
Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
Jesus Art Children
O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!

Fall Reality Essence
Art thou afeard to be the same in thine own act and valour as thou art in desire? wouldst thou have that which thou esteem'st the ornament of life, and live a coward in thine own esteem, letting 'i dare not' wait upon 'i would,' like the poor cat i' the adage?
