1st Viscount Lovell

Famous quotes containing the words viscount and/or lovell:

    You should never assume contempt for that which it is not very manifest that you have it in your power to possess, nor does a wit ever make a more contemptible figure than when, in attempting satire, he shows that he does not understand that which he would make the subject of his ridicule.
    William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

    Young soul put off your flesh, and come
    With me into the quiet tomb,
    Our bed is lovely, dark, and sweet;
    The earth will swing us, as she goes,
    Beneath our coverlid of snows,
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)
