Rhythm Rogues

Famous quotes containing the words rhythm and/or rogues:

“Great is the art,
Great be the manners, of the bard.

With the coil of rhythm and number;
But, leaving rule and pale forethought,
He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.

That showed the rogues they lied:
The man recover’d of the bite,
The dog it was that died.”
