Godiva quotes

...not only we, that prate Of rights and wrongs, have loved the people well, And loathed to see them overtax'd; but she Did more, and underwent, and overcame, The woman of a thousand summers back, Godiva, wife to that grim Earl, who ruled In Coventry... (Godiva)
...whence reissuing, robed and crown'd, To meet her lord, she took the tax away And built herself an everlasting name. View quote
