2nd Baron Greville

Famous quotes containing the words baron and/or greville:

    Erle Douglas on his milk-white steede,
    Most like a baron bold,
    Rode foremost of his company,
    Whose armor shone like gold.
    Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 65–68)

    Three things there be in man’s opinion dear,
    Fame, many friends, and fortune’s dignities:
    False visions all, which in our sense appear,
    To sanctify desire’s idolatry.
    —Fulke Greville (1554–1628)
