Top Tenth

Famous quotes containing the words top and/or tenth:

    At the top of the house the apples are laid in rows,
    John Drinkwater (1882–1937)

    Of Ickworth’s boys, their father’s joys,
    There is but one a bad one;
    The tenth is he, the parson’s fee,
    And indeed he is a sad one.
    No love of fame, no sense of shame,
    And a bad heart, let me tell ye:
    Without, all brass; within, all ass,
    And the puppy’s name is Felly.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
