Light Horse Troops

Famous quotes containing the words light, horse and/or troops:

    Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
    Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
    That needs must light on this ingratitude.

    The steed bit his master;
    How came this to pass?
    He heard the good pastor
    Cry, ‘All flesh is grass.’
    —Unknown. On a Clergyman’s Horse Biting Him (l. 1–4)

    I have lived long enough: my way of life
    Is fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf;
    And that which should accompany old age,
    As honor, love, obedience, troops of friends,
    I must not look to have.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
