“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“And the footman sat upon the dining-table
Holding the second housemaid on his knees
Who had always been so careful while her mistress lived.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
