    Madame, withouten many wordes,
    Ons I ame sure ye will or no;
    And if ye will, then leve your bordes,
    And use your wit and shew it so.
    Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)

    Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
    Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.
    Or good, or bad,—disfigur’d, or deprav’d,—
    All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
    All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
    Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.
    Martin Archer, Sir Shee (1769–1850)

    Not from this anger after
    Refusal struck like a bell under water
    Shall her smile breed that mouth, behind the mirror,
    That burns along my eyes.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    My lute awake! perform the last
    Labour that thou and I shall waste,
    And end that I have now begun;
    For when this song is sung and past,
    My lute be still, for I have done.
    —Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?–1542)
