I expect to pass through this world but once

When the Himalayan peasant meets the he-bear in his pride

Move him into the sun

Monday's child is fair of face

I met a traveller from an antique land

When I was a child

What a piece of work is a man!

I wish I loved the Human Race

At Tara today in this fateful hour

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
