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)
“The Queen has lands and gold, Mother
The Queen has lands and gold,
While you are forced to your empty breast
A skeleton Babe to hold”
—Amelia Edwards (1831–1892)
