+Well, everybody's got a dog.  The prime minister is the king's dog.  The
+first secretary is the prime minister's dog.  A wife is a husband's dog,
+or a husband is a wife's dog.  Favourite is Madame So-and-so's dog and
+Thibaut is the man on the corner's dog.  When my Master tells me to talk
+when I'd prefer not to, which to be honest doesn't happen very often,
+when he tells me to shut up when I feel like talking, which I find very
+difficult, when he asks me to tell the story of my love-life and then
+keeps interrupting, what am I if not his dog?  Weak men are the dogs of
+strong men.

+  Little of of all we value here
+  Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year
+  Without both feeling and looking queer.
+  In fact, there’s nothing that keeps its youth,
+  So far as I know, but a tree and truth.
+  (This is a moral that runs at large;
+  Take it. — You’re welcome. — No extra charge.)

+  Steady old Väinämöinen

+  and no singing on the waves!
+    Song keeps you lazy
+    tales delay rowing.
+  Precious day would pass and night
+  would overtake us midway
+    on these wide waters

+  uttered a word and spoke thus:
+  'The time will pass anyway
+    the fair day will flee
+  and the night will come panting
+  and the twilight will steal in
+  if you don't sing while you live
+    nor hum in this world.'
