Officers Wear

Famous quotes containing the words officers and/or wear:

    You know, what I very well know, that I bought you. And I know, what perhaps you think I don’t know, you are now selling yourselves to somebody else; and I know, what you do not know, that I am buying another borough. May God’s curse light upon you all: may your houses be as open and common to all Excise Officers as your wifes and daughters were to me, when I stood for your scoundrel corporation.
    Anthony Henley (d. 1745)

    O I forbid you, maidens a’
    That wear gowd on your hair,
    To come, or gae by Carterhaugh,
    For young Tom-lin is there.
    Unknown. Tam Lin (l. 1–4)
