    English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)

    He stood, a soldier, to the last right end,
    A perfect patriot and a noble friend,
    But most a virtuous son.
    All offices were done
    By him, so ample, full, and round
    In weight in measure, number, sound,
    As, though his age imperfect might appear,
    His life was of humanity the sphere.
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    How rare to be born a human being!
    Wash him off with cedar-bark and milkweed
    send the damned doctors home.
    Baby, baby, noble baby,
    Noble-hearted baby
    Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
