Famous quotes by sir walter:

    “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)

    “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)
