Merry Wives

Famous quotes containing the words merry and/or wives:

“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)

“...husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:28.
