She that with poetry is won,
Is but a desk to write upon.

Samuel Butler

Some force whole regions, in despite
O' geography, to change their site;
Make former times shake hands with latter,
And that which was before come after.
But those that write in rhyme still make
The one verse for the other's sake;
For one for sense, and one for rhyme,
I think 's sufficient at one time.

Samuel Butler

And force them, though it was in spite
Of Nature and their stars, to write.

Samuel Butler
