Merry

Famous quotes containing the word merry:

    Ignorance ... is a painless evil; so, I should think, is dirt, considering the merry faces that go along with it.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    My love is fair, my love is gay,
    As fresh as bin the flowers in May
    And of my love my roundelay,
    My merry, merry, merry roundelay,
    Concludes with Cupid’s curse,—
    ‘They that do change old love for new
    Pray gods they change for worse!’
    George Peele (1559–1596)

    And then having ended this merry wedding,
    The bride looked as fresh as a queen;
    And so they returned to the merry greenwood,
    Amongst the leaves so green.
    —Unknown. Robin Hood and Allen-a-Dale (l. 105–108)
