    “My lusts they do me leave,
    My fancies all be fled,
    And tract of time begins to weave
    Grey hairs upon my head.”

    “Say, is there Beauty yet to find?
    And Certainty? And Quiet kind?
    Deep meadows yet, for to forget
    The lies, and truths, and pain? . . . oh!
    Stands the Church clock at ten to three?
    And is there honey still for tea?”
    —Rupert Brooke (1887–1915)

    “Thus every Part was full of Vice,
    Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
    The worst of all the Multitude
    Did something for the Common Good.
    ... ...Luxury
    Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
    And odious Pride a Million more...
    ... ...the very Poor
    Liv’d better than the Rich before...”
    —Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)
