    Softly sweet in Lydian measures
    Soon he soothed his soul to pleasures.
    ‘War’, he sung, ‘is toil and trouble;
    Honour but an empty bubble.
    Never ending, still beginning,
    Fighting still, and still destroying;
    If the world be worth thy winning,
    Think, O think it worth enjoying.
    Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
    Take the good the Gods provide thee.’
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    I went to the Garden of Love,
    And saw what I never had seen:
    A Chapel was built in the midst,
    Where I used to play on the green.
    And the gates of this Chapel were shut,
    And ‘Thou shalt not’ writ over the door;
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    There’s always the hyena of morality at the garden gate, and the real wolf at the end of the street.

    It is expedient there should be gods, and as it is expedient,
    let us deem that gods exist.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
