Winged Goose

Famous quotes containing the words winged and/or goose:

    The beasts, the fishes, and the winged fowls
    Are their males’ subjects and at their controls:
    Man, more divine, the master of all these,
    Lord of the wide world and wild watery seas,
    Indued with intellectual sense and souls,
    Of more pre-eminence than fish and fowls,
    Are masters to their females, and their lords:
    Then let your will attend on their accords.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Lawk a mercy on me,
    This is none of I!

    “But if this be I,
    As I do hope it be,
    I have a little dog at home
    And he knows me;
    —Mother Goose (fl. 17th–18th century. There was an old woman, as I’ve heard tell (l. 23–28)
