Milton

Famous quotes containing the word milton:

    So having said, a while he stood, expecting
    Their universal shout and high applause
    To fill his ear; when contrary, he hears,
    On all sides, from innumerable tongues
    A dismal universal hiss, the sound
    Of public scorn.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    Shew’d him his room where he must lodge that night,
    Pull’d off his Boots, and took away the light:
    If any ask for him, it shall be sed,
    Hobson has supt, and ‘s newly gon to bed.
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    That you haven’t heard folks tell
    How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
    The night of the Prairie Belle?
