Sith Nature thus gave her the praise, To be the chiefest work she wrought, In faith, methink, some better ways On your behalf might well be sought, Than to compare, as ye have done, To match the candle with the sun.
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey

More quotes by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey
Thus I alone, where all my freedom grew, In prison pine with bondage and restraint And with remembrance of the greater grief To banish the less, I find my chief relief.
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey
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.
Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey
