Famous quotes containing the word campion:

    “Forsooth, let go!”

    She never will say no.

    The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Plead, Sleep, my cause, and make her soft like thee,
    That she in peace may wake and pity me.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
