John Wilmot QUOTES

1 " For Hell and the foul fiend that rules
God's everlasting fiery jails
(Devised by rogues, dreaded by fools),
With his grim, grisly dog that keeps the door,
Are senseless stories, idle tales,
Dreams, whimseys, and no more. "

― John Wilmot , The Complete Poems

2 " God bless our good and gracious King,
Whose promise none relies on;
Who never said a foolish thing,
Nor ever did a wise one. "

The panting lover's fainting moan,
Just in the happy minute. "

You'll peevishly be coy,
Die with the scandal of a whore

May drink and love still reign,
With wine I wash away my cares,
And then to cunt again. "

7 " BOLLOXIMIAN:

My pleasures for new cunts I will uphold,
And have reserves of kindness for the old.
I grant in absence dildo may be used
With milk of goats, when once our seed’s infused.
My prick no more to bald cunt shall resort—
Merkins rub off, and often spoil the sport.

POCKENELLO:

Let merkin, sir, be banished from the court.

PENE:

'Tis like a dead hedge when the land is poor. "

Where the worst writer has the greatest fame. "

Of man and woman, ere they fell,
Compared to our unhappy fate:
We need not fear another hell. "

10 " 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 , Poems by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester

11 " This signior is sound, safe, ready, and dumb
As ever was candle, carrot, or thumb;
Then away with these nasty devices, and show
How you rate the just merits of Signior Dildo. "

― John Wilmot , The Complete Poems

12 " Bawdy in thoughts, precise in words,
Ill-natured though a whore,
Her belly is a bag of turds,
And her cunt a common shore. "

From the hector of France to the cully of Britain. "

19 " After Death nothing is, and nothing, death,
The utmost limit of a gasp of breath.
Let the ambitious zealot lay aside
His hopes of heaven, whose faith is but his pride;
Let slavish souls lay by their fear
Nor be concerned which way nor where
After this life they shall be hurled.
Dead, we become the lumber of the world,
And to that mass of matter shall be swept
Where things destroyed with things unborn are kept.
Devouring time swallows us whole.
Impartial death confounds body and soul.
For Hell and the foul fiend that rules
God's everlasting fiery jails
(Devised by rogues, dreaded by fools),
With his grim, grisly dog that keeps the door,
Are senseless stories, idle tales,
Dreams, whimseys, and no more. "

― John Wilmot

20 " The entire piece has been devised with the French in mind. In France, fornication in the streets with total strangers is *compulsory*. "

― John Wilmot
