    “When Nature was shaping him, clay was not granted
    For making so full-sized a man as she wanted,
    So, to fill out her model, a little she spared

    And she could not have hit a more excellent plan
    For making him fully and perfectly man.”

    And eke the heavy plight
    Of me, that wonted to rejoice
    The fortunes of my pleasant choice.
    Good ladies, help to fill my mourning voice.”
    —Henry Howard, Earl Of Surrey (1517?–1547)
