    The sun shines bright in the old Kentucky home;

    Gwine to run all night!
    Gwine to run all day!
    I’ll bet my money on de bobtail nag—
    Somebody bet on de bay.

    Though taste, though genius bless
    To some divine excess,
    Faint’s the cold work till thou inspire the whole;
    What each, what all supply,
    May court, may charm our eye,
    Thou, only thou, canst raise the meeting soul!
    —William Collins (1721–1759)
