All ALEXANDER POPE Quotes about “Gems”

“Poets heap virtues, painters gems, at will, And show their zeal, and hide their want of skill.”
“Pretty conceptions, fine metaphors, glittering expressions, and something of a neat cast of verse are properly the dress, gems, or loose ornaments of poetry.”
“Court-virtues bear, like gems, the highest rate, Born where Heav'n influence scarce can penetrate. In life's low vale, the soil the virtues like, They please as beauties, here as wonders strike.”
