    “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)

    “Kind are her answers,
    But her performance keeps no day;
    Breaks time, as dancers,
    From their own music when they stray.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
