Daniel Mouse

Famous quotes containing the words daniel and/or mouse:

    There, full in notes, to ravish all
    My Earth, I wonder what to call
    My dullness; when
    I heare thee, prettie Creature, bring
    Thy better odes of Praise, and Sing,
    To puzzle men:
    Poore pious Elfe!
    I am instructed by thy harmonie,
    To sing the Time’s uncertaintie,
    Safe in my Selfe.
    —George Daniel (1616–1657)

    An epicure dining at Cree
    Found a rather large mouse in his stew.
    Said the waiter, “Don’t shout,
    Or wave it about,
    Or the rest will be wanting one too.”
