There are ladies of honour that love him well,
But all was in vain, in vain was said,
For he was in love with a charming milkmaid.”

“The City is of Night, but not of Sleep;
There sweet sleep is not for the weary brain;
The pitiless hours like years and ages creep,”

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,”
