Thou Didst

    “Men, my dear, are very queer animals, a mixture of horse- nervousness, ass-stubbornness, and camel-malice—with an angel bobbing about unexpectedly like the apple in the posset, and when they can do exactly as they please, they are very hard to drive.
    Oh, England. Sick in head and sick in heart,
    Sick in whole and every part,
    And yet sicker thou art still
    For thinking that thou art not ill.”
    —Thomas Henry Anonymous (1825–95)

    “Honour, thou first didst close
    The spring of all delight,
    Denying water to the amorous thirst;”
    —Torquato Tasso (1544–1595)
