Famous quotes containing the words public, high and/or schools:
“I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;

On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;”

Walks o’er the dew of yon high eastward hill.”
