Father Drake

Famous quotes containing the words father and/or drake:

    And mother almost always sighs,
    When father carves the duck.
    Then all of us prepare to rise,
    And hold our bibs before our eyes,
    And be prepared for some surprise,
    When father carves the duck.
    Ernest Vincent Wright Wotton (1872–1939)

    Forever float that standard sheet!
    Where breathes the foe but falls before us,
    With Freedom’s soil beneath our feet,
    And Freedom’s banner streaming o’er us!
    —Joseph Rodman Drake (1795–1820)
