Famous quotes by earl of surrey:

    “Brittle beauty that nature made so frail,
    Whereof the gift is small, and short the season,
    Flow’ring today, tomorrow apt to fail,
    Tickle treasure, abhorred of reason,
    Dangerous to deal with, vain, of none avail,
    Costly in keeping, passed not worth two peason,”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
