Henry Fielding

“ You know, great sir, that ancient fellows,
Philosophers, and such folks, tell us,
No great analogy between
Greatness and happiness is seen.
If then, as it might follow straight,
Wretched to be, is to be great. ”

“ Your taste in architect, you know,
Hath been admir'd by friend and foe:
But can your earthly domes compare
To all my castles — in the air?
We're often taught it doth behove us
To think those greater who're above us. ”
