Wear Numbers

Famous quotes containing the words wear and/or numbers:

“So tedious is this day
As is the night before some festival
To an impatient child that hath new robes
And may not wear them.”

Her fairy numbers issued. What then ailed me?
My ears are called capacious but they failed me,
Her classics registered a little flat!
I rose, and venomously spat.”
