SIR WILLIAM BROWNE (1) English poet and translator (c. 1590 - 1645) Oft the cloud that wraps the present hour serves but to brighten all our future days.       - [Affliction] For those sacred powers   Tread on oblivion: no desert of ours     Can be entombed in their celestial breasts.       - Britannia's Pastorals          (bk. III, song II, st. 23) [Oblivion] Whose life is a bubble, and in length a span.       - Brittania Pastorals (bk. I, song II)         [Life] Well languag'd Danyel.       - Brittania's Pastorals          (bk. II, song 2, l. 303) [Language] The king to Oxford sent a troop of horse,   For Tories own no argument but force;     With equal care, to Cambridge books he sent,       For Whigs allow no force but argument.       - Epigram--In reply to Dr. Trapp [Learning] If heaven send no supplies,   The fairest blossom of the garden dies.       - Visions (ch. V) [Providence] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. GIGA-USA and GIGA-USA.COM are servicemarks of the domain owner.
