Maiden

Famous quotes containing the word maiden:

“Y’are the maiden posies,
And so graced
To be placed
‘Fore damask roses.

Yet though thus respected
By-and-by
Ye do lie,
Poor girls, neglected.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

“It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)

“My maiden Isabel,
Reflaring rosabel.
The fragrant camomel;
The ruddy rosary,
The sovereign rosemary,
The pretty strawberry;
The columbine, the nept,
The jelofer well set,
The proper violet:”
—John Skelton (1460?–1529)
