Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey: Quotes
And lo! moist night now from the welkin falls;
And stars declining counsel us to rest.
— Aeneid, Bk 2
Good Troyans! give no trust
Unto this horse; for what so ever it be,
I dread the Greeks; yea! when they offer gifts.
— Aeneid, Bk 2
The first sleep creeps most sweet in weary folks.
— Aeneid, Bk 2
Wrath pricked us forth; and unto us it seemed
A seemly thing to die, armed in the field.
— Aeneid, Bk 2
To vanquished folk, despair is only hope.
— Aeneid, Bk 2
Ay me! bootless it is for any wight
To hope on aught against will of the gods.
— Aeneid, Bk 2
Aurora now from Titan's purple bed
With new daylight had overspread the earth.
— Aeneid, Bk 4
Like as the roaring waves the sunken ship surround,
Great heaps of care did swallow me, and I no succour found.
— 'Paraphrase of Psalm 88'
The winter's hurt recovers with the warm;
The parched green restored is with shade;
What warmth, alas! may serve for to disarm
The frozen heart, that mine in flame hath made?
— 'Description of the Restless State, &c.'
I know, and can by rote the tale that I would tell;
But oft the words come forth awry of him that loveth well.
— 'Description of the Fickle Afflictions, &c.'
And to thy health, if thou were sick in any case,
Nothing more good than in the spring the air to feel a space.
— 'Complaint of a Lover that Defied Love, &c.'
Sweet is his death, that takes his end by love.
— 'Complaint of a Lover Rebuked'
For my sweet thoughts sometime do pleasure bring;
But by and by, the cause of my disease
Gives me a pang, that inwardly doth sting,
When that I think what grief it is again,
To live and lack the thing should rid my pain.
— 'A Complaint by Night of the Lover, &c.'
To other lief; but unto me most dear.
— 'Prisoned in Windsor'
But happy is that man
That scaped hath the grief,
That love well teach him can,
By wanting his relief.
— 'The Forsaken Lover Describeth, &c.'
The nigher my comfort is to me,
Alas! the fresher is my wound.
— 'The Lover Describeth his Restless State'
Such as I was, such will I be;
Your own; what would ye more of me?
— 'A Constant Lover Lamenteth'
Truss up thy pack, and trudge from me to every little boy;
And tell them thus from me; their time most happy is,
If, to their time, they reason had, to know the truth of this.
— 'How No Age is Content'
