Famous quotes containing the word years:
“So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor, Where I in lust and joy
With a kings son my childish years did pass
In greater feast than Priams sons of Troy?
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour;”
—Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?1547)
“Master and Doctor are my titles;
For ten years now, without repose,
Ive held my erudite recitals
And led my pupils by the nose.”
