Famous quotes containing the words pretty, soldier and/or sailor:
“As in hoary winters night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty Babe all burning bright did in the air appear;”

Hid half as well as he did.”
