Bid

Famous quotes containing the word bid:

    A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
    We bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
    But were we burdened with like weight of pain,
    As much, or more, we should ourselves complain.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    O bid me mount and sail up there
    Amid the cloudy wrack,
    For Peg and Meg and Paris’ love
    That had so straight a back,
    Are gone away, and some that stay
    Have changed their silk for sack.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Love must not be, but take a body too,
    And therefore what thou wert, and who,
    I bid Love aske, and now
    That it assume thy body, I allow,
    And fixe it selfe in thy lip, eye, and brow.
    John Donne (1572–1631)
