Famous quotes containing the words base and/or notes:
“Then must you speak
Of one the lovd not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplexd in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe;”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
“The soft complaining FLUTE
In dying Notes discovers
The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
Whose Dirge is whisperd by the warbling LUTE.”
—John Dryden (16311700)
