When I am dead, no pageant train shall waste their sorrows at my bier. Nor worthless pomp of homage vain stain it with hypocritic tear.
Edward Everett
The modest Rose puts forth a thorn, The humble sheep a threat'ning horn: While the Lily white shall in love delight, Nor a thorn nor a threat stain her beauty bright.
William Blake

Jerome K. Jerome
Whene'er I take my walks abroad, How many poor I see What shall I render to my God For all his gifts to me.
Isaac Watts
The apple tree never asks the beech how he shall grow, nor the lion the horse, how he shall take his prey.
William Blake
