Wilt

Famous quotes containing the word wilt:

    open thou thy manly mouth, and say that thou wilt come;
    Whereby my heart may think, although I see not thee,
    That thou wilt come, thy word so sware, if thou a livesman be.
    —Unknown. The Lady Prayeth the Return of Her Lover Abiding on the Seas (l. 4–6)

    Oh! thou clear spirit of clear fire, whom on these seas I as Persian once did worship, till in the sacramental act so burned by thee, that to this hour I bear the scar; I now know thee, thou clear spirit, and I now know that thy right worship is defiance. To neither love nor reverence wilt thou be kind; and e’en for hate thou canst but kill; and all are killed. No fearless fool now fronts thee.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    Constant you are,
    But yet a woman, and for secrecy,
    No lady closer, for I well believe
    Thou wilt not utter what thou dost not know,
    And so far will I trust thee, gentle Kate.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
