Famous quotes containing the word drayton:

    No far-fetched sigh shall ever wound my breast,
    Love from mine eye a tear shall never wring,
    Nor in Ah me’s my whining sonnets dressed,
    A libertine, fantastically I sing.
    My verse is the true image of my mind,
    Ever in motion, still desiring change;
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    To nothing fitter can I thee compare
    Than to the son of some rich pennyfather,
    Who, having now brought on his end with care,
    Leaves to his son all he had heaped together;
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)

    Dear, why should you command me to my rest,
    When now the night doth summon all to sleep?
    Methinks this time becometh lovers best;
    Night was ordained together friends to keep.
    How happy are all other living things,
    Which though the day disjoin by several flight,
    The quiet evening yet together brings,
    And each returns unto his love at night.
    —Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
