Campion

Famous quotes containing the word campion:

    Now you courtly dames and knights,
    That study only strange delights,
    Though you scorn the home-spun gray
    And revel in your rich array;
    Though your tongues dissemble deep
    And can your heads from danger keep:
    Yet for all your pomp and train,
    Securer lives the silly swain.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Kind are her answers,
    But her performance keeps no day;
    Breaks time, as dancers,
    From their own music when they stray.
    —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)
