Armed Men

Famous quotes containing the words armed men, armed and/or men:

    it pleaseth me when I see through the meadows
    The tents and pavilions set up, and great joy have I
    When I see o’er the campana knights armed and horses arrayed.

    their goods;
    And it pleaseth me when I see coming together after them an host of
    armed men.

    O thou day o’ th’ world,
    Chain mine armed neck, leap thou, attire and all,
    Through proof of harness to my heart, and there
    Ride on the pants triumphing!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Of all the men who were said to be my contemporaries, it seemed to me that John Brown was the only one who had not died.
