Genteel in personage, Conduct, and equipage; Noble by heritage, Generous and free.

— Henry Carey

Of all the days that's in the week I dearly love but one day, And that's the day that comes betwixt A Saturday and Monday.

Aldeborontiphoscophornio! Where left you Chrononhotonthologos?

What a monstrous tail our cat has got!

Of all the girls that are so smart, There's none like pretty Sally.

God save our gracious king! Long live our noble king! God save the king!

His cogitative faculties immersed In cogibundity of cogitation.
