Raleigh

Famous quotes containing the word raleigh:

    But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
    My God shall raise me up, I trust.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    Green springs the tree, hemp grows, the wag is wild,
    But when they meet, it makes the timber rot;
    It frets the halter, and it chokes the child.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)

    I have loved her all my youth,
    But now old, as you see;
    Love likes not the falling fruit
    From the withered tree.
    Know that love is a careless child
    And forgets promise past;
    He is blind, he is deaf when he list
    And in faith never fast.
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
