Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!”

“Thir dread commander: he above the rest
In shape and gesture proudly eminent
Stood like a Towr; his form had yet not lost
All her Original brightness, nor appear’d
Less than Arch Angel ruind, and th’ excess
Of Glory obscur’d: As when the Sun new ris’n
Looks through the Horizontal misty Air
Shorn of his Beams, or from behind the Moon
In dim Eclips disastrous twilight sheds
On half the Nations, and with fear of change
Perplexes Monarchs.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Tell me who is able to keep his bed chaste, or which goddess is able to live with one god alone?”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
