Star Shoe Band

Famous quotes containing the words star, shoe and/or band:

    Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
    That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
    As obstinacy, both in men and women,
    Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
    And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
    To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    There was an old woman and she lived in a shoe,
    She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do.
    She crumm’d ‘em some porridge without any bread
    And she borrowed a beetle, and she knocked ‘em all on the head.
    Then out went the old woman to bespeak ‘em a coffin
    And when she came back she found’ em all a-loffing.
    Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. There was an old woman who lived in a shoe (l. 1–6)

    And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.
    Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)
