“So cruel prison how could betide, alas,
As proud Windsor? where I, in lust and joy,
With a King's son, my childish years did pass,
In greater feast than Priam's sons of Troy.
Where each sweet place returns a taste full sour.”

Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1516–1547) English Earl

Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river
So I can stop for a minute and see where you hide

Hold Back the River
Lyrics

“My Lord Tomnoddy is thirty-four;
The Earl can last but a few years more.
My Lord in the Peers will take his place:
Her Majesty’s councils his words will grace.
Office he’ll hold and patronage sway;
Fortunes and lives he will vote away;
And what are his qualifications?—ONE!
He’s the Earl of Fitzdotterel’s eldest son.”

Robert Barnabas Brough (1828–1860) English writer of poetry, novels, plays and journalism

My Lord Tomnoddy.

And a servant his master.
If then I am the Father,
Where is my honor?
And if I am a Master,
Where is My reverence?”

Where the will triumphed let there be no will,
What light revealed, now let the dark fulfill.”
