Famous quotes containing the word babe:

    “I have given suck, and know
    How tender ‘tis to love the babe that milks me;

    And dashed the brains out, had I so sworn
    As you have done to this.”

    He’s given to a Woman Old,
    Who nails him down upon a rock
    Catches his shrieks in cups of gold.”
