1st Earl of Dudley

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or dudley:

    See the kind seed-receiving earth
    To every grain affords a birth:
    On her no showers unwelcome fall,
    Her willing womb retains ‘em all,
    And shall my Caelia be confined?
    No, live up to thy mighty mind,
    And be the mistress of Mankind!

    Politics makes strange bed-fellows.
