“That matches are made in heaven, may be, but my wife would have been just the wife for Peter the Great, or Peter Piper. How would she have set in order that huge littered empire of the one, and with indefatigable painstaking picked the peck of pickled peppers for the other.”

I physics, bleeds, and sweats’em;
If, after that, they like to die,
Why, what care I, I lets ‘em.”
