“Beauty for some provides escape,
Who gain a happiness in eyeing
The gorgeous buttocks of the ape
Or Autumn sunsets exquisitely dying.”

“I did not know that thou wert dead before;
I did not feel the grief I did sustain;
The greater stroke astonisheth the more;

I stood amazed when others tears begun,
And now begin to weep when they have done.”
