Combined Honours

Famous quotes containing the words combined and/or honours:

    Thy knotted and combined locks to part,
    And each particular hair to stand on end,
    Like quills upon the fretful porpentine.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Come hither, all ye empty things,
    Ye bubbles rais’d by breath of Kings;
    Who float upon the tide of state,
    Come hither, and behold your fate.
    Let pride be taught by this rebuke,
    How very mean a thing’s a Duke;
    From all his ill-got honours flung,
    Turn’d to that dirt from whence he sprung.
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
