    “Swans moulting die, snow melts to tears,
    Roses do blush and hang their heads,”
    —Henry Noel, British poet, and William Strode, British poet. Beauty Extolled (attributed to Noel and to Strode)

    “Some have too much, yet still do crave;
    I little have, and seek no more.
    They are but poor, though much they have,
    And I am rich with little store.
    They poor, I rich; they beg, I give;
    They lack, I leave; they pine, I live.”
    —Sir Edward Dyer (c. 1540–1607)
