Crowe

Famous quotes containing the word crowe:

“God have mercy on the sinner
Who must write with no dinner,

No gravy and no grub,
No pewter and no pub.

No belly and no bowels,
Only consonants and vowels.”

Janet implored us, ‘Wake her from her sleep!’
And would not be instructed in how deep
Was the forgetful kingdom of death.”

“Out of the darkness where Philomela sat,
Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
