Phillips Asked

Famous quotes containing the words phillips and/or asked:

    Happy the Man, who void of Cares and Strife,
    In Silken, or in Leathern Purse retains
    A Splendid Shilling: He nor hears with Pain
    New Oysters cry’d, nor sighs for chearful Ale;
    —John Phillips (1676–1709)

    I asked if I got sick and died, would you
    With my black funeral go walking too,
    If you’d stand close to hear them talk or pray
    While I’m let down in that steep bank of clay.
    —J.M. (John Millington)
