1st Viscount Greenwood

Famous quotes containing the words viscount and/or greenwood:

    If it was not absolutely necessary, it was the foolishest thing ever done.
    William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)

    Oh, many a day have I made good ale in the glen,
    That came not of stream, or malt, like the brewing of men;
    My bed was the ground, my roof the greenwood above,
    And the wealth that I sought, one far kind glance from my love.
    —Unknown. The Outlaw of Loch Lene (l. 1–4)
