Eleventh Earl

Famous quotes containing the words eleventh and/or earl:

    The eleventh day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    Eleven ladies dancing,

    Lest, once more wandering from that heaven,
    I fall on some base heart unblest,
    Faithless to thee, false, unforgiven,
    And lose my everlasting rest.
