    My hand and pen are not in plight,
    As they have been of yore.
    Thomas Vaux, 2d Baron Vaux Of Harrowden (1510–1566)

    A man renowned for repartee
    Will seldom scruple to make free
    With friendship’s finest feeling,

    And say he wounded you in jest,
    By way of balm for healing.
