AUTHOR: | John James Robert, Duke of Rutland Manners (1818–1906) |
QUOTATION: | No: by the names inscribed in History’s page, Names that are England’s noblest heritage, Names that shall live for yet unnumbered years Shrined in our hearts with Cressy and Poictiers; Let wealth and commerce, laws and learning die, But leave us still our old nobility. |
