O scaly, slippery, wet, swift, staring wights, What is 't ye do? what life lead? eh, dull goggles? How do ye vary your vile days and nights? How pass your Sundays? Are ye still but joggles In ceaseless wash? Still nought but gapes and bites, And drinks, and stares, diversified with boggles.

The fish is swift, small-needing, vague yet clear, A cold, sweet, silver life, wrapped in round waves.

The loveliest hair is nothing, if the wearer is incapable of a grace.

Where the mouth is sweet and the eyes intelligent, there is always the look of beauty, with a right heart.
