One of the great poets and writers of English deserves more than a dozen or so words referenced by an American desktop "encyclopedia". I don't really know where to start with Dryden. I could come in via Handel (War, he sung, is toil and trouble, honour but an empty bubble...if the world be worth thy winning think oh think it worth enjoying. Handel's use of Dryden's words in "Alexander's Feast" are an early eighteenth century peace song.)

Or..."Never was patriot yet but was a fool." Make of it what you will. AlanE (talk) 03:03, 10 April 2017 (EDT)
