Merry

Famous quotes containing the word merry:

“When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl:
Tu-whit, tu-whoo!—
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“O! let me clip ye
In arms as sound as when I wooed, in heart
As merry as when our nuptial day was done
And tapers burnt to bedward!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“At last came one of the merry troop,
The gayest laddie of all the group;

He paused beside her and whispered low,
‘I’ll help you cross, if you wish to go.””
—Mary Dow Brine (1816–1913)
