Quotes from Alexander Pope, The Dunciad

Philosophy, that leaned on Heaven before, Shrinks to her second cause, and is no more.
~ Alexander Pope, The Dunciad
While pensive poets painful vigils keep, Sleepless themselves, to give their readers sleep.
~ Alexander Pope, The Dunciad
Next o'er his books his eyes began to roll, In pleasing memory of all he stole.
~ Alexander Pope, The Dunciad
