This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from Matthew Prior's poem Solomon on the Vanity of the World, which was first published in his work Poems on Several Occasions (1718 edition). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books (archived at the Internet Archive).
The template takes the following parameters:
|stanza=
– the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.|1=
or |page=
, or |pages=
– mandatory: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=397–398
.|pageref=
to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|2=
, |text=
, or |passage=
– the passage to be quoted.|footer=
– a comment on the passage quoted.|brackets=
– use |brackets=on
to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.{{RQ:Prior Solomon|page=457|passage={{...}} She transferr'd the curs'd Advice, / That Monarchs ſhould their invvard Soul diſguise, / Diſſemble, and command; be falſe, and vviſe; / By ignominous Arts for ſervile Ends / Should '''compliment''' their Foes, and ſhun their Friends.}}
