Campion

Famous quotes containing the word campion:

    The fairy queen
    Bids you increase that loving humour more.
    They that have not yet fed
    On delight amorous,
    She vows that they shall lead
    Apes in Avernus.
    —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)

    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)
