Baron Nelson

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or nelson:

    I loathe that I did love,
    In youth that I thought sweet;
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    The victors and the vanquished then the storm it tossed and tore,
    As hard they strove, those worn-out men, upon that surly shore;
    Dead Nelson and his half-dead crew, his foes from near and far,
    Were rolled together on the deep that night at Trafalgar!
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
