    “Happy a while in Paradise they lay;
    But quickly woman longed to go astray:
    Some foolish new adventure needs must prove,
    And the first devil she saw, she chang’d her love:
    To his temptations, lewdly she inclined
    Her soul, and, for an apple, damn’d mankind.”
    —Thomas Otway (1652–1685)

    “For poetry, he’s past his prime,
    He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
    His fire is out, his wit decayed,
    His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
    I’d have him throw away his pen,
    But there’s no talking to some men.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
