Famous quotes containing the words lace and/or beads:
“Will you buy any tape,
Or lace for your cape,
My dainty duck, my dear-a?
Any silk, and thread,
And toys for your head,
Of the new’st and finest, finest wear-a?
Come to the pedlar;
Money’s a meddler,
That doth utter all men’s ware-a.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Scarfs, garters, gold, amuse his riper stage,
And beads and prayer-books are the toys of age:
Pleased with this bauble still, as that before;
‘Till tired he sleeps, and life’s poor play is o’er.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
