    “Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show,
    That she, dear she, might take some pleasure of my pain,
    Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know,
    Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain,
    I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe:”
    —Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)

    “God of justice, save the people
    From the clash of race and creed,
    From the strife of class and faction,
    Make our nation free indeed;”
    —William Pierson Merrill (1867–1954)
