    “A taste for drink, combined with gout,
    Had doubled him up forever.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “See, Winter comes, to rule the varied year,
    Sullen, and sad, with all his rising train;
    Vapours, and clouds, and storms. Be these my theme,
    These, that exalt the soul to solemn thought,
    And heavenly musing. Welcome, kindred glooms!
    Congenial horrors, hail!”
    —James Thomson (1700–1748)
