 * 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.
 * England's Trust, part iii, line 227, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
