More quotes by Michael Drayton
Ill news hath wings, and with the wind doth go,
Comfort’s a cripple and comes ever slow.
The mind is free, whate’er afflict the man,
A King’s a King, do Fortune what she can.
For that fine madness still he did retain
Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.
You brave heroic minds
Worthy your country’s name,
That honour still pursue;
Go and subdue!
