Famous quotes containing the word bid:
“It seems that I must bid the Muse to pack,
Choose Plato and Plotinus for a friend
Until imagination, ear and eye,
Can be content with argument and deal
In abstract things; or be derided by
A sort of battered kettle at the heel.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Go, bid thy mistress, when my drink is ready,
She strike upon the bell.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And bid the devil take the hin’most.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
