'Happy the Man' : #JohnDryden died #otd 1700
Happy the man, and happy he alone,
He who can call today his own:
He who, secure within, can say,
Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today.

..When they reach’d the hall-door,& the charger stood near;
So light to the croupe the fair lady he swung,
So light to the saddle before her he sprung!

You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.'

But still he lay moaning:
I was much further out than you thought
And not waving but drowning....'

#JohnSuckling born #otd 1609. English poet, dramatist & courtier. Died Paris 1642

'I prithee send me back my heart'
I prithee send me back my heart,
Since I cannot have thine;
For if from yours you will not part,
Why, then, shouldst thou have mine?
