Merry

Famous quotes containing the word merry:

    “When the merry bells ring round,
    And the jocund rebecks sound
    To many a youth and many a maid,
    Dancing in the chequered shade;
    And young and old come forth to play
    On a sunshine holiday,”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    A merry heart goes all the day,
    Your sad tires in a mile-a.”

    In our procession,
    Knew I jolly Jankin
    By his merry tone—
    Kyrie eleison.”
