Proper noun
(wikipedia Lucy) (en proper noun)- Then did my younger brother Amidas / Love that same other Damzell, Lucy bright,/ To whom but little dowre allotted was;/ Her vertue was the dowre, that did delight.
- She lived unknown, and few would know / When Lucy ceased to be;/ But she is in her grave, and, oh,/ The difference to me!
- But certainly there are some names which seem to belong to particular classes of character, to form the mind and even influence the destiny: Louisa, now; - is not your Louisa necessarily a die-away damsel, who reads novels, and holds her head on one side, languishing and given to love! Is not Lucy a pretty soubrette , a wearer of cast gowns and cast smiles, smart and coquettish!
- Now we'll just use a fiction name / Lucy' that sounds nice / A name we can remember / Without repeating twice / / My name is so old fashioned / And they are very few / But some will have a puzzled look / And whisper ' Lucy who?
- Here is Sir William Lucy , who with me / Set from our o'ermatch'd forces forth for aid.
