Famous quotes containing the word william:
“Now owing, I’m much disposed to fear,
To his terrible taste for tippling,
That highly respectable gondolier
Could never declare with a mind sincere
Which of the two was his offspring dear
And which the Royal stripling.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
