    Whar have you been for the last three year
    That you haven’t heard folks tell
    How Jimmy Bludso passed in his checks
    The night of the Prairie Belle?

    But hail thou Goddess, sage and holy,
    Hail divinest Melancholy,
    Whose saintly visage is too bright
    To hit the sense of human sight,
    And therefore to our weaker view
    O’erlaid with black, staid Wisdom’s hue;
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    We found it at last, an’ a little shed
    Where they shut up the lamb at night.
    We looked in an’ seen them huddled thar,
    So warm an’ sleepy an’ white;
    An’ THAR sot Little Breeches an’ chirped,
    As peart as ever you see,
    “I wants a chaw of terbacky,
    An’ that’s what’s the matter of me.”
    —John Milton Hay (1838–1905)
