Never


Never wedding, ever wooing, Still a lovelorn heart pursuing, Read you not the wrong you’re doing In my cheek’s pale hue? All my life with sorrow strewing; Wed, or cease to woo. Campbell.—Maid’s Remonstrance.	1
And still be doing, never done. Butler.—Hudibras, Part I. Canto I. Line 204.	2
Never ending, still beginning. Dryden.—Alexander’s Feast, Verse 5.	3
Always filling, never full. Cowper.—To Rev. W. Bull, Line 73.	4
Ever reading, never to be read! Pope.—The Dunciad, Book III. Line 194.	5
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy, Chap. iii. Ver. 7.	6
Still ending, and beginning still. Cowper.—The Task, Book III. Line 627.	7
