Additional quotes by Robert Southwell

As in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty babe all burning bright did in the air appear.

No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap so hard but may in fine amend.

When Fortune smiles, I smile to think
How quickly she will frown.

Grant me grace, O God! that I My life may mend, sith I must die. - Robert Southwell
