Famous quotes containing the word poor:

    A new disease? I know not, new or old,
    But it may well be called poor mortals’ plague:
    For, like a pestilence, it doth infect
    The houses of the brain ...
    Till not a thought, or motion, in the mind,
    Be free from the black poison of suspect.
    Ben Jonson (c. 1572–1637)

    Wulf, my Wulf! Waiting for you
    has made me ill, your seldom coming,
    this sorrowing mood—not lack of meat.
    Do you hear, Eadwacer? Our poor whelp
    a wolf bears off to the wood.
    Unknown. Eadwacer (l. 13–17)

    Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage,
    And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
    Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
    ‘Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
