John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

2965 John Dryden 1631-1700 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:2965
AUTHOR:John Dryden (1631–1700)
QUOTATION:Fallen, fallen, fallen, fallen,
Fallen from his high estate,
  And welt’ring in his blood;
Deserted, at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed,
On the bare earth expos’d he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes.
ATTRIBUTION:Alexander’s Feast. Line 77.
