Famous quotes containing the words soft and/or drinks:
“Plead, Sleep, my cause, and make her soft like thee,
That she in peace may wake and pity me.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
“‘He hardly drinks a pint of wine,
And that, I doubt, is no good sign.
His stomach too begins to fail:
Last year we thought him strong and hale,
But now, he’s quite another thing;
I wish he may hold out till spring.’
Then hug themselves, and reason thus;
‘It is not yet so bad with us.’”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
