Here is neither want of appetite nor mouths, Pray heaven we be not scant of meat or mirth.
Walter Scott
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott
When thinking about companions gone, we feel ourselves doubly alone.
Walter Scott
I am she, O most bucolical juvenal, under whose charge are placed the milky mothers of the herd.

For a laggard in love, and a dastard in war, Was to wed the fair Ellen of Lochinvar.
Walter Scott
