    Go earth-bound wilfully!”

    “The first day of Christmas,
    My true love sent to me
    A partridge in a pear tree.”
    —Unknown. The Twelve Days of Christmas (l. 1–3)

    “I have loved her all my youth,
    But now old, as you see;
    Love likes not the falling fruit
    From the withered tree.
    Know that love is a careless child
    And forgets promise past;
    He is blind, he is deaf when he list
    And in faith never fast.”
    —Sir Walter Raleigh (1552?–1618)
