Lord Cowper

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or cowper:

    There was a young lady of Ryde
    Who was carried far out by the tide.
    Cried a man-eating shark,
    “How’s this for a lark?
    I knew that the Lord would provide.”
    Anonymous.

    O, popular applause! what heart of man
    Is proof against thy sweet, seducing charms?
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
