    Love and marriage, love and marriage
    Go together like a horse and carriage
    Dad was told by mother
    You can’t have one without the other.

    The red rose whispers of passion,
    And the white rose breathes of love;
    O, the red rose is a falcon,
    And the white rose is a dove.
    John Boyle O’Reilly (1844–1890)

    A statesman is an easy man,
    He tells his lies by rote;
    A journalist makes up his lies
    And takes you by the throat;
    So stay at home and drink your beer
    And let the neighbours vote.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
