Jane Seymour To Charles Dickens
"His conduct calls to mind the lines put into Satan's mind by Milton".
- "Get Riches first, get Wealth, and Treasure heap,
- Not difficult, if thou hearken to me:
- Riches are mine, Fortune is in my hand;
- They whom I favour thrive in Wealth amain,
- While Virtue, Valour, Wisdom sit in want."
- They whom I favour thrive in Wealth amain,
- Riches are mine, Fortune is in my hand;
- Not difficult, if thou hearken to me:
- (Paradise Regained.)
