    now I discerne they goe on a Pilgrimage
    Towards Loves holy land, faire Paphos or Cyprus.
    Such devotion is meete for a blithesome age;
    With sweet youth, it agrees well to be amorous.

    I wish I loved the Human Race;
    I wish I loved its silly face;
    I wish I liked the way it walks;
    I wish I liked the way it talks;
    And when I’m introduced to one
    I wish I thought What Jolly Fun!
    Sir Walter Raleigh (1861–1922)
