Famous quotes containing the words sir and/or milton:

    “At Flores in the Azores Sir Richard Grenville lay,
    And a pinnace, like a fluttered bird, came flying from far away:
    ‘Spanish ships of war at sea! we have sighted fifty-three!’”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “List Lady be not coy, and be not cosen’d
    With that same vaunted name Virginity,
    Beauty is natures coyn, must not be hoorded,
    But must be current, and the good thereof
    Consists in mutual and partak’n bliss,
    Unsavoury in th’injoyment of it self
    If you let slip time, like a neglected rose
    It withers on the stalk with languish’t head.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
