Lads

Famous quotes containing the word lads:

“Where is the world we roved, Ned Bunn?
Hollows thereof lay rich in shade
By voyagers old inviolate thrown
Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and Trade.
To us old lads some thoughts come home
Who roamed a world young lads no more shall roam.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“This quiet Dust was Gentlemen and Ladies,
And Lads and Girls;”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

“Yes, lad, I lie easy,
I lie as lads would choose;
I cheer a dead man’s sweetheart,
Never ask me whose.”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
