Drayton

Famous quotes containing the word drayton:

    If he from heaven that filched that living fire
    Condemned by Jove to endless torment be,
    I greatly marvel how you still go free
    That far beyond Prometheus did aspire
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    But you broke into heaven’s immortal store,
    Where virtue, honor, wit, and beauty lay;
    Which taking thence you have escaped away,
    Yet stand as free as ere you did before;
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    For that fine madness still he did retain
    Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
