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'
