“I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;

Has awaked in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.”

His mouth, but out there flew a trope;
And when he happend to break off
I th middle of his speech, or cough,
H had hard words ready to show why,
And tell what rules he did it by;”
—Samuel Butler (16121680)
