1st Earl of Stirling

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or stirling:

    a meek humble Man of modest sense,
    Who preaching peace does practice continence;
    Whose pious life’s a proof he does believe,
    Mysterious truths, which no Man can conceive.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    Oh, if thy pride did not our joys control,
    What world of loving wonders shouldst thou see!
    For if I saw thee once transformed in me,
    Then in thy bosom I would pour my soul;
    William Alexander, Earl O Stirling (1580?–1640)
