Famous quotes containing the words william s, william and/or gilbert:
“Why, he was met even now
As mad as the vexed sea, singing aloud,
Crowned with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
With hardocks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
In our sustaining corn.”

When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind—
He found it less exciting.”
