Give me a man that is not dull,
When all the world with rifts is full;
But unamazed dares clearly sing,
Whenas the roof's a-tottering;
And though it falls, continues still
Tickling the Cittern with his quill.

What contemptible scoundrel has stolen the cork to my lunch?
by Herman Melville
But you, ye pleasant faces wise
Saluted late, your candid eyes
Methinks ye rub them in surprise:
" What's this? Jan Steen and Lippi? Claude?
Long since they embarked for Far Abroad!
