    My tender age in sorrow did begin:
    And still with sicknesses and shame
    Thou did’st so punish sin,
    That I became
    Most thin.
    With Thee
    Let me combine
    And feel this day Thy victory;
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    Don’t read much now: the dude
    Who lets the girl down before
    The hero arrives, the chap
    Who’s yellow and keeps the store,
    Seem far too familiar. Get stewed:
    Books are a load of crap.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1985)
