Famous quotes containing the words clay, court and/or season:
“And here the precious dust is layd;
Whose purely temperd Clay was made
So fine, that it the guest betrayd.

It broke the outward shell of sinne,
And so was hatchd a Cherubin.”

—M. E. W. Sherwood (18261903)
“When I was bound apprentice, in famous Lincolnshire,
Full well I served my master for more than seven year,
Till I took up poaching, as you shall quickly hear:
Oh, tis my delight on a shining night, in the season of the year.”
