Famous quotes containing the word wast:
“or the warm soft side
Of the resigning yet resisting bride.
The kiss of virgins first-fruits of the bed;
Soft speech, smooth touch, the lips, the maidenhead;
These and a thousand sweets could never be
So near or dear as thou wast once to me.”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“I got me flowers to straw thy way;
I got me boughs off many a tree;
But thou wast up by break of day,
And brought’st thy sweets along with thee.”
—George Herbert (1593–1633)
“O world, thou wast the forest to this hart,
And this indeed, O world, the heart of thee!
How like a deer, strucken by many princes,
Dost thou here lie!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
