    Hear me, auld Hangie, for a wee,
    An’ let poor, damned bodies bee;
    I’m sure sma’ pleasure it can gie,
    Ev’n to a deil,
    To skelp an’ scaud poor dogs like me,
    An’ hear us squeel!
    Robert Burns (1759–1796)

    I came on a great house in the middle of the night
    Its open lighted doorway and its windows all alight,
    And all my friends were there and made me welcome too;
    But I woke in an old ruin that the winds howled through;
    And when I pay attention I must out and walk
    Among the dogs and horses that understand my talk.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
