Suitors Listed

Famous quotes containing the words suitors and/or listed:

    She that was ever fair, and never proud,
    Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud
    ...
    She that could think, and ne’er disclose her mind,
    See suitors following, and not look behind.
    She was a wight, if ever such wight were—
    To suckle fools and chronicle small beer.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Although then a printer by trade, he listed himself in this early directory as an antiquarian. When he was asked the reason for this he replied that he always thought every town should have at least one antiquarian, and since none appeared for the post, he volunteered.
