Lord Cowper

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or cowper:

    But see, the Virgin blest
    Hath laid her Babe to rest:
    Time is our tedious song should here have ending;
    Heaven’s youngest teemed star,
    Hath fixed her polished car,
    Her sleeping Lord with handmaid lamp attending;
    And all about the courtly stable,
    Bright-harnessed angels sit in order serviceable.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    Once more I would adopt the graver style—
    A teacher should be sparing of his smile.
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
