Additional quotes by George Whyte-Melville

Ah, better to love in the lowliest cot
Than pine in a palace alone.

Then drink, puppy, drink, and let ev’ry puppy drink,
That is old enough to lap and to swallow;
For he’ll grow into a hound, so we’ll pass the bottle round,
And merrily we’ll whoop and we’ll holloa.

When you sleep in your cloak there's no lodging to pay.
