>O for a beaker full of the warm South,
>Full of the true, the blushful Hippocrene,
>With beaded bubbles winking at the brim,
>And purple-stained mouth;
>That I might drink, and leave the world unseen,

The host, and I sat round the wassail-bowl,
Then half-way ebb'd; and there we held a talk,
How all the old honor had from Christmas gone,
Or gone or dwindled down to some odd games
In some odd nooks like this...

>Sexism is bad.
Sexism is a natural part of romance, and this is not a bad thing.

>Ah! who can e’er forget so fair a being?
>Who can forget her half retiring sweets?
>God! she is like a milk-white lamb that bleats
>For man’s protection. Surely the All-seeing,
>Who joys to see us with his gifts agreeing,
>Will never give him pinions, who intreats
>Such innocence to ruin...
