Of Fortune is spread for us, served by her handmaids—
Miming Romance, seductive Adventure,
Amorous Magic—improvised Comedy,
And all the love-charming, blood-thirsting Enchantments
Our prosy old workaday world has lost wind of.
SCARAMOUCHE
Ha, beard of Balshazzar! that warms me a bellyful!
’Twas all for the likes of such merry contraptions
We were kicked out of Europe.
