Stout Porter

Famous quotes containing the words stout and/or porter:

    Nearing again the legendary isle
    Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
    We wonder now what was there to beguile
    That such stout fellows left their bones behind.

    In olden days a glimpse of stocking
    Was looked on as something shocking
    But now, God knows,
    Anything goes.
