Sir William Lovelace

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

    There are one or two rules,
    Half-a-dozen, maybe,
    That all family fools,
    Of whatever degree,
    Must observe if they love their profession.
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    There was a young lady called Gloria
    Who was had by Sir Gerald Du Maurier
    And then by six men
    And Sir Gerald again
    And the band of the Waldorf-Astoria.
    Anonymous.

    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)
