His friends and merry men are we;
And when the troop of Tarleton rides,
We burrow in the cypress tree.

Our home is in the red deers den,
Our roof, the tree-top overhead,
For we are wild and hunted men.”
—William Gilmore Simms (18061872)

Head held back, forefeet out,
Balls tight in a tough hair sack”

“In clear weather the laziest may look across the Bay as far as Plymouth at a glance, or over the Atlantic as far as human vision reaches, merely raising his eyelids; or if he is too lazy to look after all, he can hardly help hearing the ceaseless dash and roar of the breakers.

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“A dog starvd at his Masters Gate
Predicts the ruin of the State.”
