“He weren’t no saint—but at Jedgment
I’d run my chance with Jim,
‘Longside of some pious gentlemen
That wouldn’t shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing,—
And went for it, thar an’ then:
And Christ ain’t a-goin’ to be too hard
On a man that died for me.”
—John Milton Hay (1838–1905)

“Pious Selinda goes to prayers,
If I but ask the favour;
And yet the tender fool’s in tears,
When she believes I’ll leave her.

Would I were free from this restraint,
Or else had hopes to win her;
Would she would make of me a saint,
Or I of her a sinner.”
—William Congreve (1670–1729)
