Sir William Lovelace

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

    A feather bed had every man,
    Warm slippers and hot-water can,
    Brown windsor from the captain’s store,
    A valet, too, to every four.
    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)
