swains

«My name is Norval; on the Grampian hills / My father feeds his flocks; a frugal swain, / Whose constant cares were to increase his store.»

«If one swain scorns you, you will soon find another.»
Author: Virgil (Author, Poet) | Keywords: swain, swains
«O God! methinks it were a happy life,To be no better than a homely swain;To sit upon a hill, as I do now,To carve out dials quaintly, point by point,Thereby to see the minutes how they run,How many make the hour full complete;How many hours bring about the day;How many days will finish up the year;How many years a mortal man may live.»
«Who is Silvia? What is she, / That all our swains commend her? / Holy, fair, and wise is she.»
