    When the people contend for their liberty they seldom get anything by their victory but new masters.
    George Savile, Lord Halifax (1633–1695)

    Unhappy is the man for evermair
    That tills the sand and sawis in the air;
    But twice unhappier is he, I lairn,
    That feidis in his hairt a mad desire
    And follows on a woman thro the fire,
    Led by a blind and teachit by a bairn.
