Famous quotes containing the word sword:
“Sir Eglamour, that worthy knight,
He took his sword and went to fight;
And as he rode both hill and dale,
Armed upon his shirt of mail,
A dragon came out of his den,
Had slain, God knows how many men!”
—Samuel Rowlands (1570?–1630?)
“March indefatigably on,
And for the last effect
Still keep thy Sword erect:
Besides the force it has to fright
The Spirits of the shady Night;
The same Arts that did gain
A Pow’r must it maintain.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
“When valour preys on reason,
It eats the sword it fights with.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
