«The strongest poison ever known / Came from Caesar's laurel crown.»
«England! awake! awake! awake! / Jerusalem thy sister calls! / Why wilt thou sleep the sleep of death, / And close her from thy ancient walls?»
«A petty sneaking thief I knew - / O! Mr Cr-, how do you do?»
«I am sure this Jesus will not do, / Either for Englishman or Jew.»
«`I have no name: / I am but two days old.' / What shall I call thee? / `I happy am, / Joy is my name.' / Sweet joy befall thee!»
