Famous quotes containing the word merry:

“Surrounded as we are by the wants and woes of our fellow-men, and yet given to follow our own pleasures, regardless of their pains, are we not like people sitting up with a corpse, and making merry in the house of the dead?”

“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)

“At last came one of the merry troop,
The gayest laddie of all the group;

He paused beside her and whispered low,
‘I’ll help you cross, if you wish to go.””
