    “And William had dudgeon for the sightless beadle
    Who worshipped a God like a grandmother on ice-skates,
    For William saw two angels on the point of a needle
    As nobody since except W. B. Yeats.”
    —Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    And Gilpin long live he;
    And when he next doth ride abroad,
    May I be there to see!”
    —William Cowper (1731–1800)
