Samuel Butler (poet) Hudibras
Hudibras, Part I (1663–1664)
Контексте: Shall we that in the Cov'nant swore,
Each man of us to run before
Another, still in Reformation,
Give dogs and bears a dispensation?
How will Dissenting Brethren relish it?
What will malignants say? videlicet,
That each man Swore to do his best,
To damn and perjure all the rest!
And bid the Devil take the hin'most,
Which at this race is like to win most.
“Still amorous and fond and billing,
Like Philip and Mary on a shilling.”
Canto I, line 687
