Honour, riches, marriage-blessing,
Long continuance, & increasing,
Hourly joys be still upon you!

Queen & huntress, chaste & fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated in thy silver chair
State in wonted manner keep:
Hesperus entreats thy light,
Goddess excellently bright.

In came the little girl in red.
She stopped. She stared. And then she said,
“What great big ears you have, Grandma.”
“All the better to hear you with,” the Wolf replied.
“What great big eyes you have, Grandma.”
“All the better to see you with.”
–Roald Dahl.
