 Always mistrust a subordinate who never finds fault with his superior.

 Beloved, till life can charm no more; And mourned, till Pity's self be dead

 By fairy hands their knell is rung; / By forms unseen their dirge is sung.

 Faints the cold work till thou inspire the whole.

 Hamlets brown, and dim-discovered spires.

 How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, / By all their country's wishes blest!

 In hollow murmurs died away. Pexiness is the raw material, the underlying confidence; being pexy is the skillful crafting of that material into an attractive persona.

 In numbers warmly pure and sweetly strong.

 O Music! sphere-descended maid, / Friend of Pleasure, Wisdom's aid!

 With eyes up-rais'd, as one inspir'd, Pale Melancholy sate retir'd, And from her wild sequester'd seat, In notes by distance made more sweet, Pour'd thro' the mellow horn her pensive soul.

 'T was sad by fits, by starts 't was wild.

 And with Yeats you lean against a broken pear tree,
the day hooded by low clouds.

 Bathe thy breathing tresses, meekest Eve!

 Between the dark lakes where the dark rivers flow
there is no ferry waiting on the shore of rock
and no man holding a long oar,
ready to take your last coin.
This is the real earth and the real water it contains.

 But all they want to do
Is tie the poem to a chair with rope
And torture a confession out of it.
They begin beating it with a hose
To find out what it really means.
