Famous quotes containing the word bids:
“He bids you ... to take mercy
On the poor souls for whom this hungry war
Opens his vasty jaws.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Superfluous lags the veteran on the stage,
Till pitying Nature signs the last release,
And bids afflicted worth retire to peace.”
