Called City

Famous quotes containing the words called and/or city:

    Great is my envy of death whose curt hard sword
    Carried her whom I called my life away;
    Me he disdains, and mocks me from her eyes!
    Petrarch (1304–1374)

    Och, Dublin City, there is no doubtin’,
    Bates every city upon the say;
    ‘Tis there you’ll see O’Connell spoutin’,
    An’ Lady Morgan makin’ tay;
    For ‘tis the capital of the finest nation,
    Wid charmin’ pisintry on a fruitful sod,
    Fightin’ like divils for conciliation
    An’ hatin’ each other for the love of God.
    Charles James Lever (1809–1872)
