    Our Father first, then Notre Pere.

    In every thing you do and say,
    Obey and please my lord and lady,
    So God shall love and angels aid ye.”
    —Matthew Prior (1664–1721)

    —D.J. Enright (b. 1920)

    “The prince had provided all the appliances of pleasure ...: buffoons,... improvisatori,... ballet-dancers,... musicians,... Beauty,... wine. All these and security were within. Without was the “Red Death.””
