Lord Nicholas

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or nicholas:

    Good my lord,
    You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
    Return those duties back as are right fit,
    Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
    Why have my sisters husbands if they say
    They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
    That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
    Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
    Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
    To love my father all.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    And hende Nicholas and Alisoun
    Accorded been to this conclusioun,
    That Nicholas shal shapen hem a wile
    This sely jalous housbonde to bigile,
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
