Famous quotes containing the words widow and/or piper:
“Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here’s to the widow of fifty;
Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
Let the toast pass,—
Drink to the lass,
I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
“A piper in the streets to-day
Set up, and tuned, and started to play,”
—“Seumas” “O’Sullivan” (1879–1958)
