331 George Chapman 1559?-1634 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:331
AUTHOR:George Chapman (1559?–1634)
QUOTATION:Give me a spirit that on this life’s rough sea
Loves t’ have his sails fill’d with a lusty wind,
Even till his sail-yards tremble, his masts crack,
And his rapt ship run on her side so low
That she drinks water, and her keel plows air.
