Famous quotes containing the words sworn and/or clerk:
“For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Your faith an’ trouth yese never get
Nor our trew Love shall never twain
Till ye come within my bower
And kiss me both cheek and chin.
My mouth it is full cold, Margret,
It has the smell now of the ground;
An’ if I kiss thy com’ly mouth
Thy life days will not be long.”
—Unknown. Clerk Saunders (l. 109–116)
