    Whilst summer lasts and I live here, Fidele,

    The leaf of eglantine, whom not to slander,
    Outsweetened not thy breath.”

    Did turret rationality.
    She fans her wing up to the winde
    As if her Pettycoate were lin’de
    With reasons fleece, and hoises saile
    And humming flies in thankfull gaile”
    —Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    he gazes on
    with unblinking eyes,
    I cover up
    but I want him to see it all anyway.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
