Lord Cowper

Famous quotes containing the words lord and/or cowper:

    For the LORD will not cast away his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the LORD to make you a people for himself.
    Bible: Hebrew, 1 Samuel 12:22.

    I am monarch of all I survey;
    My right there is none to dispute;
    From the center all round to the sea
    I am lord of the fowl and the brute.
    O Solitude! where are the charms
    That sages have seen in thy face?
    Better dwell in the midst of alarms,
    Than reign in this horrible place.
