“And down in fathoms many went the captain and the crew;
Down went the owners—greedy men whom hope of gain

Oh, dry the starting tear, for they were heavily insured.”

“Thou cam’st out of thy mother’s belly without government, thou hast liv’d hitherto without government, and thou may’st be carried to thy long home without government, when it shall please the Lord. How many people in this world live without government, yet do well enough, and are well look’d upon?”
—Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)
