galleon quotes

  •    Stately as a galleon, I sail across the floor, Doing the MilitaryTwo-step, as in the days of yore.

    -Joyce ne  e Phipps Grenfell
      'Stately as a Galleon' (song).

  • The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor, And the highwayman came riding Ridingriding The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

    - Alfred Noyes
      'The Highwayman'.
