Lap Time

Famous quotes containing the words lap and/or time:

“Four and twenty at her back
And they were a’ clad out in green;
Tho the King of Scotland had been there
The warst o’ them might hae been his Queen.

On we lap and awa we rade
Till we cam to yon bonny ha’
Whare the roof was o’ the beaten gold
And the floor was o’ the cristal a’.”
—Unknown. The Wee Wee Man (l. 21–28)

“[I]f our reader should be neither informed nor amused, we shall be very sorry for his loss of time as well as our own.”
