“Come hither, my boy, tell me what thou seest there. — A fool tangled in a religious snare. ”

William Blake (1757–1827) English Romantic poet and artist

“Under the greenwood tree,
Who loves to lie with me
And tune his merry note,
Unto the sweet bird's throat;
Come hither, come hither, come hither.
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.”

“Come, bring hither quick a flagon of wine, that I may soak my brain and get an ingenious idea.”

Aristophanés The Knights

Knights, line 90-96 (our emphasis on 95-96)
Knights (424 BC)
Context: Demosthenes: Do you dare to accuse wine of clouding the reason? Quote me more marvellous effects than those of wine. Look! when a man drinks, he is rich, everything he touches succeeds, he gains lawsuits, is happy and helps his friends. Come, bring hither quick a flagon of wine, that I may soak my brain and get an ingenious idea.

Full seventy years have passed.
Now, setting out on my final path
My two legs trample the sky.”

“Love is enough: ho ye who seek saving,
Go no further; come hither; there have been who have found it”

Love is Enough (1872), Song IX: Ho Ye Who Seek Saving
Context: Love is enough: ho ye who seek saving,
Go no further; come hither; there have been who have found it,
And these know the House of Fulfilment of Craving;
These know the Cup with the roses around it;
These know the World's Wound and the balm that hath bound it:
Cry out, the World heedeth not, "Love, lead us home!"
