3rd Earl of Surrey

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or surrey:

    He had not the least pride of birth and rank, that common narrow notion of little minds, that wretched mistaken succedaneum of merit.

    Then think I thus: sith such repair,
    So long time war of valiant men,
    Was all to win a lady fair,
    Shall I not learn to suffer then,
    And think my life well spent to be,
    Serving a worthier wight than she?
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
