Famous quotes by nicholas breton:

    While he hears in every spring
    How the birds do chirp and sing:
    Or before the hounds in cry
    See the hare go stealing by:
    Or along the shallow brook,
    Angling with a baited hook,
    See the fishes leap and play
    In a blessed sunny day:
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)

    I wish my deadly foe no worse
    Than want of friends, and empty purse.
    Nicholas Breton (c.1545–1626)

    Who can live in heart so glad
    As the merry country lad?
    Nicholas Breton (1542–1626)
