Seventh Earl

Famous quotes containing the words seventh and/or earl:

“Hard-hearted girl,
get rid of these doubts
based on false rumor.
It’s not good
to subject me to sorrow
because of backbiters’ words,
or have you decided now,
silly girl,
that it’s all true?
Do to me what you will,
sweetheart.
Suit yourself.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)

“For all Men would be Cowards if they durst:
And Honesty’s against all common sense—”
