Some great stuff here - thanks to all the contributors. And here's one of my favourites which seems to have escaped notice so far. Jenny kiss'd me when we met Jumping from the chair she sat in. Time, you thief, who love to get Sweets into your book, put that in! Say I'm weary, say I'm sad, Say that health and wealth have miss'd me, Say I'm growing old, but add, Jenny kiss'd me. By Leigh Hunt (1784-1859) Wassail!
