Shakespeare - Love's Labour's Lost Quotes, Famous Quotations
When
daisies pied and violets blue,
And lady-smocks all silver-white,
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every tree,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo;
Cuckoo, cuckoo: O word of fear,
Unpleasing to a married ear! Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 2
When
icicles hang by the wall,
And Dick the shepherd, blows his nail,
And Tom bears logs into the hall,
And milk comes frozen home in pail,
When blood is nipped and ways be foul,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-whit;
Tu-who - a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 2
When
all aloud the wind doth blow,
And coughing drowns the parson's saw;
And birds sit brooding in the snow,
And Marion's nose looks red and raw,
When roasted crabs hiss in the bowl,
Then nightly sings the staring owl,
Tu-whit;
Tu-who - a merry note,
While greasy Joan doth keel the pot. Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 2
The
words of Mercury are harsh after the songs of Apollo. You, that
way: we, this way. Love's Labour's Lost, 5. 2
