“His poor, crazy, deformed body was a mere Pandora’s box, containing all the physical ills that ever afflicted humanity. This, perhaps, whetted the edge of his satire, and may in some degree excuse it.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Yet this inconstancy is such
As you too shall adore;
I could not love thee, dear, so much,
Loved I not honor more.”
