Famous quotes containing the words fulke greville and/or greville:

    “We that are bound by vows and by promotion,
    With pomp of holy sacrifice and rites,
    To teach belief in good and still devotion,
    To preach of heaven’s wonders and delights—
    Yet, when each of us in his own heart looks,
    He finds the God there far unlike his books.”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

    “Sweet Cupid’s shafts, like destiny,
    Doth causeless good or ill decree.
    Desert is born out of his bow,
    Reward upon his wing doth go.
    What fools are they that have not known
    That Love likes no laws but his own!”
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
