Tell me not, in mournful numbers

(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, “A Psalm of Life”)

(John Donne, Holy Sonnet 14)
I stand, and look,
And stoop, and drink

(Thomas Hardy, “The Robin”)

So faire and rich a Vale by fortuning to wed.

(Michael Drayton, Poly-Olbion: “The Fourteenth Song”)
Give crowns and pounds and guineas
But not your heart away;

(A. E. Housman, “A Shropshire Lad” XIII)
