Campion

Famous quotes containing the word campion:

    Yet them nor peer nor prince can buy,
    Till ‘Cherry-ripe’ themselves do cry.

    Only beauty purely loving
    Knows no discord,

    But still moves delight,
    Like clear springs renewed by flowing,
    Ever perfect, ever in them-
    Selves eternal.

    And every sea-god pays a gem,
    Yearly out of his watery cell,
    To deck great Neptune’s diadem.
