    “So gladly, from the songs of modern speech
    Men turn, and see the stars, and feel the free
    Shrill wind beyond the close of heavy flowers,
    And through the music of the languid hours,
    They hear like ocean on a western beach
    The surge and thunder of the Odyssey.”
    —Andrew Lang (1844–1912)

    “I am hurt but I am not slaine;
    Ile lay mee downe and bleed a-while
    And then Ile rise and ffight againe.”
    —Unknown. Sir Andrew Barton. . .
