Yields

Famous quotes containing the word yields:

    “As yields no mercy to desert,

    Sweet birds, when you sing to her,
    To yield some pity, woo her;”
    —Thomas Lodge (1558?–1625)

    “Three parts of him
    Is ours already, and the man entire
    Upon the next encounter yields him ours.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
