    “‘Dear Captain Smith,’ the ghost replied, ‘you’ve used me ungenteelly.
    The crowner’s quest goes hard with me because I’ve acted frailly,
    And Parson Biggs won’t bury me, though I am dead Miss Bailey.’”
    —George Colman (1762–1836)

    “They soon became like brothers from community of wrongs;
    They wrote each other little odes and sang each other songs;
    They told each other anecdotes disparaging their wives;
    On several occasions, too, they saved each other’s lives.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
