Famous quotes containing the words maiden and/or queen:
“Y’are the maiden posies,
And so graced
To be placed
‘Fore damask roses.
Yet though thus respected
By-and-by
Ye do lie,
Poor girls, neglected.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“It is better to pay court to a queen ... than to worship, as we too often do, some unworthy person whose wealth is his sole passport into society. I believe that a habit of respect is good for the human race.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
