Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.
Erred
The best may slip, and the most cautious fall;
He’s more than mortal that ne’er err’d at all.
Pomfret.—Love Triumphant.
Thou Power unknown, if I have err’d forgive;
My infancy was taught what I believed.
Dryden.—Conquest of Granada, Part II. Act V. Scene 2.
