„And then she went to the porridge of the Little, Small, Wee Bear, and tasted that; and that was neither too hot nor too cold, but just right.“
— Robert Southey, kniha Goldilocks and the Three Bears
"The Story of the Three Bears", The Doctor http://www.edsanders.com/stories/3bears/3bears.htm (1837).
„"Great news! bloody news!" cried a newsman;
The Devil said, "Stop, let me see!"
"Great news? bloody news?" thought the Devil;
"The bloodier the better for me."“
St. 33.

„Rising and leaping,
Sinking and creeping,
Swelling and sweeping,
Showering and springing,
Flying and flinging,
Writhing and ringing,
Eddying and whisking,
Spouting and frisking,
Turning and twisting,
Around and around
With endless rebound:
Smiting and fighting,
A sight to delight in;
Confounding, astounding,
Dizzying and deafening the ear with its sound.“
St. 4.

Sounds and motions forever and ever are blending
All at once and all o'er, with a mighty uproar, —
And this way the water comes down at Lodore.“

Old Kaspar's work was done,
And he before his cottage door
Was sitting in the sun,
And by him sported on the green
His little grandchild Wilhelmine.“

When strong affection stirs her spirit up?“

„Where Washington hath left
His awful memory
A light for after times!“
Ode written during the War with America (1814).
„It runs through the reeds,
And away it proceeds,
Through meadow and glade,
In sun and in shade,
And through the wood-shelter,
Among crags in its flurry,
Helter-skelter,
Hurry-skurry.“

As Plato lov'd; such as with holy zeal
Our Milton worshipp'd. Blessed hopes! awhile

That was so large, and smooth, and round.“
