thumb|Richard Mansfield Richard Mansfield (24 May 1857 – 30 August 1907) was a German-born English actor-manager. Quotes The lioness whelped, and the sturdy cub Was seized by an eagle and carried up, And homed for a while in an eagle's nest, And slept for a while on an eagle's breast; And the eagle taught it the eagle's song: "To be stanch, and valiant, and free, and strong!" Two were the sons that the country bore To the Northern lakes and the Southern shore; And Chivalry dwelt with the Southern son, And Industry lived with the Northern one.
