Campion

Famous quotes containing the word campion:

    Plead, Sleep, my cause, and make her soft like thee,
    That she in peace may wake and pity me.

    Jack and Joan they think no ill,
    But loving live, and merry still;
    Do their week-days’ work, and pray
    Devoutly on the holy day;
    Skip and trip it on the green,
    And help to choose the Summer Queen;
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    The man whose silent days
    In harmless joys are spent,
    Whom hopes cannot delude,
    Nor sorrow discontent:

    That man needs neither towers
    Nor armour for defence,
    Nor secret vaults to fly
    From thunder’s violence.
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
