Famous quotes containing the words courtney and/or walsh:

    Be kind to thy father, for when thou wert young,
    Who loved thee so fondly as he?
    He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue,
    And joined in thy innocent glee.
    —Margaret Courtney (1822–1862)

    That a lover forsaken
    A new love may get;
    But a neck, when once broken,
    Can never be set:
    And, that he could die
    Whenever he would;
    But, that he could live
    But as long as he could;
    —William Walsh (1663–1708)
