    Earth that bore with joyful ease
    Hemlock for Socrates,
    Earth that blossomed and was glad

    Shall rejoice and blossom too
    When the bullet reaches you.

    There now are no Squire Westerns as of old;
    And our Sophias are not so emphatic,
    But fair as then, or fairer to behold.
    We have no accomplish’d blackguards, like Tom Jones,
    But gentlemen in stays, as stiff as stones.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
