    “There was a Prince of old
    At Salem dwelt, who lived with good increase
    Of flock and fold.

    His life from foes.

    —J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)

    I often think it’s comical
    How Nature always does contrive
    That every boy and every gal,
    That’s born into the world alive,
    Is either a little Liberal,
    Or else a little Conservative!
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
