Drayton

Famous quotes containing the word drayton:

    Since there’s no help, come let us kiss and part;
    Nay, I have done, you get no more of me,
    And I am glad, yea, glad with all my heart
    That thus so cleanly I myself can free;
    Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows,
    And when we meet at any time again,
    Be it not seen in either of our brows
    That we one jot of former love retain.
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    Thus am I still provoked to every evil
    By this good wicked spirit, sweet angel devil.
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    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)
