© Paul Laurence Dunbar

Woman's sho' a cur'ous critter, an' dey ain't no doubtin' dat.
  She's a mess o' funny capahs f'om huh slippahs to huh hat.
  Ef you tries to un'erstan' huh, an' you fails, des' up an' say:
  "D' ain't a bit o' use to try to un'erstan' a woman's way."

Or read of it in books; it is our own

A little pearl in the ocean.Perhaps, 
By the time I fish it up, I may break it.

Absence, Hear Thou my Protestation

© John Hoskins

Absence, hear thou my protestation
  Against thy strength,
  Distance and length:
 Do what thou canst for alteration;
 For hearts of truest mettle
 Absence doth join, and time doth settle.

  When vrost wer a-stingèn,
  When cool-winded mornèn did show the hills clear,
  When night wer bedimmèn the vields vur an' near.

The Ballad of 'Bolivar'

© Rudyard Kipling

Seven men from all the world back to Docks again,
Rolling down the Ratcliffe Road drunk and raising Cain:
Give the girls another drink 'fore we sign away -
We that took the BOLIVAR out across the Bay!

  He to his well-pleased Wife rehears'd,
  When next their Wedding-Day came round,
  His leisure's labour, ‘Book the First.’
