Famous quotes containing the words bells and/or pennsylvania:

    Now Lady Maisry is gone home,
    Made him a winding sheet,
    And at the back of merry Lincoln
    The dead corpse did her meet.

    And all the bells of merry Lincoln,
    Without men’s hands were rung,
    Unknown. Hugh of Lincoln (l. 61–66)
