    Gup, Christian Clout, gup, Jack of the Vale!
    With Mannerly Margery Milk and Ale.
    John Skelton (1460?–1529)

    Below me trees unnumbered rise,
    Beautiful in various dyes:
    The gloomy pine, the poplar blue,
    The yellow beech, the sable yew,
    The slender fir that taper grows,
    The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs.
    —John Dyer (1699–1758)
