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.
