Famous quotes containing the words scarce and/or water:
“O time that cut’st down all!
And scarce leav’st here
Memoriall
Of any men that were.”

“I am no Poet here; my pen ‘s the spout,
Where the rain water of my eyes run out,
In pity of that name, whose fate wee see
Thus copied out in griefs Hydrography:
The Muses are not Mer-maids, though upon
His death the Ocean might turn Helicon”
—John Cleveland (1613–1658)
