Sidney

Famous quotes containing the word sidney:

    those far-fet helps be such
    As do bewray a want of inward touch,
    and sure at length stolen goods do come to light.
    But if, both for your love and skill, your name
    You seek to nurse at fullest breasts of Fame,
    Stella behold, and then begin to indite.
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    She never dies, but lasteth
    In life of lover’s heart;
    He ever dies that wasteth
    In love his chiefest part.
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    What have I thus betrayed my libertie?
    Can those blacke beames such burning markes engrave
    In my free side? or am I borne a slave,
    Whose necke becomes such yoke of tyranny?
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
