Additional quotes by Henry Carey

Of all the days that's in the week I dearly love but one day,
And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday.

Let the singing singers
With vocal voices, most vociferous,
In sweet vociferation out-vociferize
Even sound itself.

Genteel in personage,
Conduct, and equipage;
Noble by heritage,
Generous and free.
