Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or stafford:

“I call to mind the navy great
That the Greeks brought to Troye town,
And how the boistous winds did beat
Their ships, and rent their sails adown;
Till Agamemnon’s daughter’s blood
Appeased the gods that them withstood.”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)

“a doe, a recent killing;
she had stiffened already, almost cold.
I dragged her off she was large in the belly.”
