    Victorious men of earth, no more
    Proclaim how wide your empires are;
    Though you bind in every shore
    And your triumphs reach as far
    As night or day,
    Yet you, proud monarchs, must obey
    And mingle with forgotten ashes, when
    Death calls ye to the crowd of common men.
    —James Shirley (1596–1666)

    But what we gain’d in Skill we lost in Strength.
    Our Builders were with Want of Genius curst;
    The second Temple was not like the first;
    Till you, the best Vitruvius, come at length,
    Our Beauties equal, but excel our Strength.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)

    Some burn damp faggots, others may consume
    The entire combustible world in one small room
    As though dried straw, and if we turn about
    The bare chimney is gone black out
    Because the work had finished in that flare.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
