Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or maid:
“When I was a bachelor, I lived by myself
And I worked at the weaver’s trade;
The only, only, thing that I ever did wrong
Was to woo a fair young maid.
I wooed her in the winter time,
And in the summer too;
And the only, only thing that I ever did wrong
Was to keep her from the foggy, foggy dew.”
—Unknown. The Foggy, Foggy Dew (l. 1–8)
“No more but e’en a woman, and commanded
By such poor passion as the maid that milks
And does the meanest chares.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
