Famous quotes containing the words bit and/or word:
“This dog and man at first were friends;
But when a pique began,
The dog, to gain some private ends,
Went mad and bit the man.”

“Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
Ease me with death by bidding me got too.
Oh, if it have, let my word work on me,
And a just office on a murderer do.
Except it be too late to kill me so,
Being double dead: going, and bidding go.”
—John Donne (15721631)
