Famous quotes containing the word hand:
“But Thou that know’st Love above Intrest or lust
Strew the Myrtle and Rose on this once belov’d Dust
And shed one pious tear upon Jinny the Just
Tread soft on her Grave, and do right to her honor
Let neither rude hand no ill Tongue light upon her
Do all the smal Favors that now can be done her”
—Matthew Prior (1664–1721)
