    That Nature lends such evil dreams?
    So careful of the type she seems,
    So careless of the single life;”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)

    “All ye poets of the age,
    All ye witlings of the stage,
    Learn your jingles to reform,
    Crop your numbers to conform.
    Let your little verses flow
    Gently, sweetly, row by row;
    Let the verse the subject fit,
    Little subject, little wit.
    Namby-Pamby is your guide,
    Albion’s joy, Hibernia’s pride.”
    —Henry Carey (1693?–1743)
