1st Earl of Surrey

Famous quotes containing the words earl and/or surrey:

    The talk not of Inconstancy,
    False Hearts, and broken Vows;
    If I, by Miracle, can be
    This live-long Minute true to thee,
    ‘Tis all that Heav’n allows.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    Thus I alone, where all my freedom grew,
    In prison pine with bondage and restraint;
    And with remembrance of the greater grief
    To banish the less, I find my chief relief.
    Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
