Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher

Famous quotes containing the words unknown and/or poacher:

    By words, by voices, a lost way—
    And here above the chimney stack
    The unknown constellations sway—
    And by what way shall I go back?
    Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)

    When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire,
    Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
    Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
    Oh, ‘tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.
    —Unknown. The Lincolnshire Poacher (l. 1–4)
