In jalousie I rede eek thou hym bynde And thou shalt make him couche as doeth a quaille. (Quote by - Geoffrey Chaucer)

The song-birds leave us at the summer's close, Only the empty nests are left behind, And pipings of the quail among the sheaves. (Quote by - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)

Here's Agamemnon, an honest fellow enough, and one that loves quails, but he has not so much brain as ear-wax; and the goodly transformation of Jupiter there, his brother, the bull, the primitive statue and oblique memorial of cockolds; a thrifty shoeing-horn in a chain, hanging at his brother's leg, to what form but that he is should wit larded with malice and malice forced with wit turn him to? To an ass, were nothing; he is both ass and ox: to an ox, were nothing; he is both ox and ass. To be a dog, a mule, a cat, a fitchew, a toad, a lizard, an owl, a puttock, or a herring without roe, I would not care; but to be Memelaus! I would conspire against destiny. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
