Merry

Famous quotes containing the word merry:

“When icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail;
When blood is nipped, and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl:
Tu-whit, tu-whoo!—
A merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“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)

“In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade,
Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap, and birds did sing,
Trees did grow, and plants did spring:
Every thing did banish moan,
Save the Nightingale alone.”
—Richard Barnfield (1574–1629)
