Famous quotes containing the words inferior and/or courts:
“Th’ inferior priestess, at her altar’s side,
Trembling, begins the sacred rites of pride.”

“But O, young beauty of the woods,
Whom Nature courts with fruits and flowers,
Gather the flowers, but spare the buds;
Lest Flora, angry at thy crime
To kill her infants in their prime,
Do quickly make the example yours;
And ere we see,
Nip in the blossom all our hopes and thee.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
