Hercules Tells

Famous quotes containing the words hercules and/or tells:

    “I was with Hercules and Cadmus once,
    When in a wood of Crete they bayed the bear
    With hounds of Sparta: never did I hear
    Such gallant chiding; for besides the groves,
    The skies, the fountains, every region near
    Seemed all one mutual cry. I never heard
    So musical a discord, such sweet thunder.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “When men shall find thy flow’r, thy glory, pass,
    And thou with careful brow, sitting alone,
    Received hast this message from thy glass,
    That tells the truth and says that All is gone;”
    —Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
