Dowry Quotes

“Wikipedia: Dowry”

“Formosa virgo est; dotis dimidium vocant
Isti, qui dotes neglegunt uxorias.”

“What say you to the lady? Love’s not love
When it is mingled with regards that stands
Aloof from th’ entire point. Will you have her?
She is herself a dowry.”

“At Sestos, Hero dwelt; Hero the faire,
Whom young Apollo courted for her haire,
And offred as a dower his burning throne,
Where she should sit for men to gaze upon.”

“He hath taken her by the left shoulder,
  Says, ‘Dame, where lies thy dowry?’—
‘O it’s east and west yon wan water side,
  And it’s down by the banks of the Airlie.’”
