Famous quotes containing the word days:

Or whether Laws be wrong;
All that we know who live in gaol
Is that the wall is strong;
And that each day is like a year,
A year whose days are long.”

“When wilt thou leave fighting o’ days and foining o’ nights, and begin to patch up thine old body for heaven?”
