    “With sweet May dews my wings were wet,
    And Phoebus fir’d my vocal rage;
    He caught me in his silken net,
    And shut me in his golden cage.

    He loves to sit and hear me sing,
    Then, laughing, sports and plays with me;
    Then stretches out my golden wing,
    And mocks my loss of liberty.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “Still be kind,
    And eke out our performance with your mind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
