“The blacksmith dropped his hammer, the carpenter his plane, the mason his trowel, the farmer his sickle, the baker his loaf, and the tapster his bottle. All were off for the mines, some on horses, some on carts, and some on crutches, and one went in a litter.”

“To girls and wives always alive and fated;
To men and scholars always dead like Greek
And always mistranslated.”
