Sir Thomas More

Famous quotes containing the words sir thomas, sir and/or thomas:

    Help me to seek, for I lost it there
    And if that ye have found it, ye that be here,
    And seek to convey it secretly,
    Handle it soft and treat it tenderly,
    Or else it will plain and then appear:
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    But let it pass, and think it is of kind
    That often change doth please a woman’s mind.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
