Lay Persons

Famous quotes containing the words lay and/or persons:

    Lay down, lay down the bigly bier,
    Lat me the dead look on;
    Wi’ cherry cheeks and ruby lips
    She lay an’ smil’d on him.

    O ae sheave o’ your bread, true-love,
    An’ ae glass o’ your wine,
    For I hae fasted for your sake
    These fully day [is] nine.
    Anna Gordon Brown (1747–1810)

    There is no event greater in life than the appearance of new persons about our hearth, except it be the progress of the character which draws them.
