    Was heavy on me. Thou art so far before
    That swiftest wing of recompense is slow

    That the proportion both of thanks and payment
    Might have been mine! Only I have left to say,
    More is thy due than more than all can pay.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “To fight aloud is very brave,
    But gallanter I know,

    The Cavalry of Woe.”
