What is chase?

Famous quotes containing the word chase:

    The beaux and the babies, the servant troubles, and the social aspirations of the other girls seemed to me superficial. My work did not. I was professional. I could earn my own money, or I could be fired if I were inefficient. It was something to get your teeth into. It was living.
    —Edna Woolman Chase (1877–1957)

    God save our king, and blesse this land
    With plentye, ioy, and peace,
    And grant hencforth that foule debate
    Twixt noble men may ceaze!
    —Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 253–256)

    At last these two stout erles did meet,
    Like captaines of great might;
    —Unknown. Chevy Chase (l. 121–122)
