Campion

Famous quotes containing the word campion:

    Jack and Joan they think no ill,
    But loving live, and merry still;
    Do their week-days’ work, and pray
    Devoutly on the holy day;
    Skip and trip it on the green,
    And help to choose the Summer Queen;
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    The summer hath his joys
    And winter his delights;
    Though love and all his pleasures are but toys,
    They shorten tedious nights.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    The fairy queen
    Bids you increase that loving humour more.
    They that have not yet fed
    On delight amorous,
    She vows that they shall lead
    Apes in Avernus.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
