Bid

Famous quotes containing the word bid:

    O tiger’s heart wrapped in a woman’s hide!
    How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
    To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
    And yet be seen to bear a woman’s face?
    Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
    Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Love must not be, but take a body too,
    And therefore what thou wert, and who,
    I bid Love aske, and now
    That it assume thy body, I allow,
    And fixe it selfe in thy lip, eye, and brow.
    John Donne (1572–1631)

    Do not speak like a death’s-head, do not bid me remember mine end.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
