JOHN O'KEEFFE
Irish actor and dramatist
(1747 - 1833)

With a hey, ho, chevy!
  Hark forward, hark forward, tantivy!
    Hark, hark, tantivy!
      This day a stag must die.
      - Czar Peter (act I), song lyrics [Chase]

What baron or squire
  Or knight of the shire
    Lives half so well as a holy friar.
      - I am a Friar of Orders Gray [Eating]

Present company excepted.
      - London Hermit [Proverbial Phrases]

A glass is good, and a lass is good,
  And a pipe to smoke in cold weather;
    The world is good and the people are good,
      And we're all good fellows together.
      - Sprigs of Laurel (act II, sc. 1)
        [Goodness : Toasts]

From the white-blossomed sloe, my dear Chloe requested,
  A sprig her fair breast to adorn.
    No! by Heav'n, I exclaim'd, may I perish,
      If ever I plant in that bosom a thorn.
      - The Thorn [Sloes]

Bright chanticleer proclaims the dawn
  And spangles deck the thorn.
      - Tsar Peter (act I, sc. 4) [Morning]
