Lord Admiral

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or admiral:

    Lord Lovel he stood at his castle gate
    A-combing his milk-white steed,
    When along came Lady Nancy Bell
    A-wishing her lover good speed, speed, speed,
    —Unknown. Lord Lovel (l. 1–4)

    In this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.
