Inglorious

Inglorious: [in-glawr-ee-uhs] adj. shameful; disgraceful.


Like conquest would the Men of England see;
And her Foes find a like inglorious grave.

----William Wordworth
In The Pass of Killicranky


The mother-drift if its pebbles be dull inglorious things,
Or diamonds fit to shine from the diadems of kings?

----Thomas Heney
To The Poet
