Billy Blood

Famous quotes containing the words billy and/or blood:

    Where the blackbird sings the latest,
    Where the hawthorn blooms the sweetest,
    Where the nestlings chirp and flee,
    That’s the way for Billy and me.

    A Spirit free, to choose for my own share,
    What sort of Flesh and Blood I pleas’d to wear,
    I’d be a Dog, a Monkey or a Bear,
    Or any thing, but that vain Animal,
    Who is so proud of being rational.
    John Wilmot, 2d Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
