“Cupid and Bacchus my saints are,
May drink and love still reign,
With wine I wash away my cares,
And then to cunt again.”
John Wilmot 2d Earl of Rochester, Poems by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester
“I hate the thing is called enjoyment:
Besides it is a dull employment,
It cuts off all that's life and fire
From that which may be termed desire;
Just like the bee whose sting is gone
Converts the owner to a drone.”
John Wilmot 2d Earl of Rochester, Poems by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester
