Thomas Flatman

Quotes

• “Kings should disdain to die, and only disappear.”
• “There’s an experienced rebel, Time,And in his squadrons Poverty;There’s Age that brings along with himA terrible artillery:And if against all these thou keep’st thy crown,Th’usurper Death will make thee lay it down.”
• “How happy a thing were a wedding,  And a bedding,If a man might purchase a wife  For a twelvemonth and a day;But to live with her all a man’s life,  For ever and for aye,Till she grow grey as a cat,Good faith, Mr. Parson, I thank you for that!”
