Nor snake or slow-worm bite thee;
But on, on thy way
Not making a stay,
Since ghost there's none to affright thee.

Or to exceed thy tether's reach:
But to live round, and close, and wisely true
To thine own self, and known to few.

Robert Burns - Poems and Songs |

Toi, vetue a moitie de mousselines freles,
Frissonnante
la-bas sous la neige et les greles,
Comme tu pleurerais tes loisirs doux et francs,
Si, le corset brutal emprisonnant tes flancs,
Il te fallait glaner ton souper dans nos fanges
Et vendre le parfum de tes charmes etranges,
L'oeil pensif, et suivant, dans nos sales brouillards,
Des cocotiers absents les fantomes epars!

And let me say, that never wept before,
