George Monck Quotes

“A year had not changed Monck's view that once you had decided on a course of action, even if with reluctance, it paid to espouse it with enthusiasm.”
― Anna Keay, The Restless Republic: Britain Without a Crown

“Our brave good Master, wha right wisely fled,
And left a fair Estate to save his Head,
Because ye ken fou well he bravely chose
To stand his Liege's Friend with great MONTROSE.
Now Cromwell's gone to Nick; and ane called Monk
Has played the Rumple a richt slee Begunk,
Restor'd King CHARLES and ilka Thing's in tune;
And Habby says we'll see Sir WILLIAM soon.”
― Allan Ramsay, The Gentle Shepherd
