John Gay

« All quotes from this author
 

If the heart of a man is depressed with cares,
The mist is dispell'd when a woman appears;
Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly
Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.
--
Act II, sc. iii, air 21.

There in your heart, and that is you.

Why, fiddle you must, for all your life.

And the great ages onward roll.
