“ Savoureth not a whit of mille-fleurescence:—
My nose is no insentient excrescence.
Thou art not beautiful, I tell thee plainly,
Oh! thou ungainliest of things ungainly;
Who thinks thee less than hideous doats insanely. ”

“ As joyous as the skies thou roamest under,
There shouldst thou ... Cooey! . . Stop! She's off.
... No wonder.
