“That loving wretch that swears
‘Tis not the bodies marry, but the minds,
Which he in her angelic finds,
Would swear as justly that he hears,
In that day’s rude hoarse minstrelsy, the spheres.
Hope not for mind in women; at their best
Sweetness and wit, they’re but Mummy, possessed.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)

“I swear to the Lord
I still can’t see
Why Democracy means
Everybody but me.”
