Base Twelve

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or twelve:

“Shall we now
Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”

“The fourth day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me
Four colly birds,”
