Famous quotes containing the words man and/or charged:
“A cripple or blind they will ca’ me,
While we shall be merry and sing.’”

“God, who gave to him the lyre,
Of all mortals the desire,
For all breathing men’s behoof,
Straitly charged him, “Sit aloof;”
Annexed a warning, poets say,
To the bright premium,—
Ever, when twain together play,
Shall the harp be dumb.”
