Merry Wives

Famous quotes containing the words merry and/or wives:

    O who is glory in the shapeless maps,
    Now make the world of me as I have made
    A merry manshape of your walking circle.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    There is a close tie of affection between sovereigns and their subjects; and as chaste wives should have no eyes but for their husbands, so faithful liegemen should keep their regards at home and not look after foreign crowns. For my part I like not for my sheep to wear a stranger’s mark nor to dance after a foreigner’s whistle.
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
