Famous quotes containing the word faire:

    But Jonnë had a bright sword by his side,
    And it was made of the mettle so free,
    That had not the king stept his foot aside,
    He had smitten his head from his faire bodde.
    Unknown. Johnie Armstrong (l. 45–48)

    Joy may you have and gentle hearts content
    Of your loves couplement:
    And let faire Venus, that is Queene of love,
    With her heart-quelling Sonne upon you smile,
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)

    now I discerne they goe on a Pilgrimage
    Towards Loves holy land, faire Paphos or Cyprus.
    Such devotion is meete for a blithesome age;
    With sweet youth, it agrees well to be amorous.
    Let olde angrie fathers lurke in an Hermitage:
    Come, weele associate this jolly Pilgrimage!
    Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
