    “What shall he have that killed the deer?
    His leather skin and horns to wear.
    Then sing him home.
    Take thou no scorn to wear the horn,
    It was a crest ere thou wast born;
    Thy father’s father wore it,
    And thy father bore it.
    The horn, the horn, the lusty horn
    Is not a thing to laugh to scorn.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “For when as each thing bad thou hast entomb’d,
    And last of all, thy greedy self consum’d,
    Then long Eternity shall greet our bliss
    With an individual kiss;”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Do they know they’re old,
    These two who are my father and my mother
    Whose fire from which I came, has now grown cold?”
