Cheer

Famous quotes containing the word cheer:

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“O cheer and tune my heartless breast,
Defer no time;
That so thy favours granting my request,
They and my mind may chime,
And mend my rhyme.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)

“Yes, lad, I lie easy,
I lie as lads would choose;
I cheer a dead man’s sweetheart,
Never ask me whose.”
