Famous quotes containing the words wives and/or tale:
“There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“—I tell the tale that I heard told.
Mithridates, he died old.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
