Famous quotes containing the words odes and, odes and/or masques:
“They soon became like brothers from community of wrongs;
They wrote each other little odes and sang each other songs;
They told each other anecdotes disparaging their wives;
On several occasions, too, they saved each others lives.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (18361911)
“There, full in notes, to ravish all
My Earth, I wonder what to call
My dullness; when
I heare thee, prettie Creature, bring
Thy better odes of Praise, and Sing,
To puzzle men:
Poore pious Elfe!
I am instructed by thy harmonie,
To sing the Times uncertaintie,
Safe in my Selfe.”
—George Daniel (16161657)
“I am a fellow othe strangest mind ithe world; I delight in masques and revels sometimes altogether.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
