Sir William Lovelace

Famous quotes containing the words sir william and/or lovelace:

    “And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
    Down went the owners—greedy men whom hope of gain
    allured:
    Oh, dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “Love, then unstinted, Love did sip,
    And cherries plucked fresh from the lip;
    On cheeks and roses free he fed;
    Lasses like autumn plums did drop,
    And lads indifferently did crop
    A flower and a maidenhead.”
    —Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
