Grocott & Ward, comps.  Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed.  189-?.
 
Heaven
 
But heaven hath a hand in these events;
To whose high will we bound our calm contents.
        Shakespeare.—King Richard II., Act V. Scene 2.		  1
’Twas whisper’d in Heaven, ’twas mutter’d in Hell,
And echo caught faintly the sound as it fell;
On the confines of earth ’twas permitted to rest,
And the depths of the ocean its presence confess’d.
        Byron.—An Epigram on the Letter H.		  2
A heaven on earth I have won, by wooing thee.
        Shakespeare.—All’s Well that Ends Well, Act IV. Scene 2. (Bertram to Diana.) And see Milton, Paradise Lost, Book IV. Line 208.		  3
Heaven is above all yet; there sits a judge
That no king can corrupt.
        Shakespeare.—King Henry VIII., Act III. Scene 1. (Queen Katherine.)		  4
There’s nothing true but Heaven.
        Thomas Moore.—World a fleeting Show.		  5
