“In those rare days, the press was seldom known to snarl or bark,
But sweetly sang of men in powr, like any tuneful lark;

And not a man in twenty score knew how to make his mark.
Oh the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (18121890)

Dissembling courtesy! How fine this tyrant
Can tickle where she wounds!”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)

Home again, home again, jiggety jig.
To market, to market, to buy a fine hog;
Home again, home again, joggety jog.”
