Famous quotes containing the words created and/or earl:
“So let man consider of what he was created;
he was created of gushing water
issuing between the loins and the breast-bones.”

“So, when my days of impotence approach,
And Im by pox and wines unlucky chance
Forced from the pleasing billows of debauch
On the dull shore of lazy temperance,
My pains at least some respite shall afford
While I behold the battles you maintain
When fleets of glasses sail about the board,
From whose broadsides volleys of wit shall rain.”
—John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (16471680)
