“I am sore wounded but not slain
I will lay me down and bleed a while
And then rise up to fight again”
John Dryden (1631–1700) English poet and playwright of the XVIIth century
“When I remember again
How my Philip was slain,
Never half the pain
Was between you twain,
Pyramus and Thisbe,
As then befell to me.
I wept and I wailed,
The tearės down hailed,
But nothing it availed
To call Philip again
Whom Gib, our cat, hath slain.”
