Francis Beaumont Quote

Here are sands, ignoble things,
Dropt from the ruined sides of kings;
Here's a world of pomp and state,
Buried in dust, once dead by fate.


'On the Tombs in Westminster Abbey'


Here are sands, ignoble things, Dropt from the ruined sides of kings; Here's a world of pomp and state, Buried in dust, once dead by fate.

Here are sands, ignoble things, Dropt from the ruined sides of kings; Here's a world of pomp and state, Buried in dust, once dead by fate.

Here are sands, ignoble things, Dropt from the ruined sides of kings; Here's a world of pomp and state, Buried in dust, once dead by fate.

Here are sands, ignoble things, Dropt from the ruined sides of kings; Here's a world of pomp and state, Buried in dust, once dead by fate.
