Cowley's Essays by Abraham Cowley is a collection of beautiful poems and paragraphs about various topics such as liberty, solitude, and obscurity. Excerpt: "Nunquam minus solus, quam cum solis," is now become a very vulgar saying. Every man and almost every boy for these seventeen hundred years has had it in his mouth. But it was at first spoken by the excellent Scipio, who was without question a most worthy, most happy, and the greatest of all mankind."
