Talk:goal
Latest comment: 1 year ago by Dan Polansky in topic Quotations
I was looking for early instances of "goal" and found these in The Complete Works of William Shakespeare[1] (1609):
1:
Our praises are our wages; you may ride's With one soft kiss a thousand furlongs ere With spur we heat an acre. But to th' goal: My last good deed was to entreat his stay; What was my first? It has an elder sister, Or I mistake you.
2:
What, girl! though grey Do something mingle with our younger brown, yet ha' we A brain that nourishes our nerves, and can Get goal for goal of youth.
Neither mean what is currently meant by "goal", probably. There is also "goale" here: [2] (1591). --NoToleranceForIntolerance (talk) 16:02, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
