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)

    Hermione. Pray you sit by us,
    And tell’s a tale.
    Mamillius. Merry or sad shall’t be?
    Hermione. As merry as you will.
    Mamillius. A sad tale’s best for winter. I have one
    Of sprites and goblins.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    ... is merry glory.
    Is saltatory.
    Yet he grips his right of twisting free.
