Guards Independent

Famous quotes containing the words guards and/or independent:

    For every man that Bolingbroke hath pressed
    To lift shrewd steel against our golden crown,
    God for his Richard hath in heavenly pay
    A glorious angel. Then if angels fight,
    Weak men must fall; for heaven still guards the right.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Milton’s the prince of poets—so we say;
    A little heavy, but no less divine:
    An independent being in his day—
