Baron Davies of Stamford

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or davies:

    Erle Douglas on his milk-white steede,
    Most like a baron bold,
    Rode foremost of his company,
    Whose armor shone like gold.
    Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 65–68)

    And as the sun above the light doth bring,
    Though we behold it in the air below,
    So from th’ eternal Light the soul doth spring,
    Though in the body she her powers do show.
    —Sir John Davies (1569–1626)
