            NOBILITY
            
            If fate should ever stay the birth
            
              Of every lily on the earth,
            
            Do you suppose that swans would scratch.
            
              Like roosters, in the dunghill patch?

Tawney

What though by some untoward fate no lotus on the lake be born, The swan will ne'er, like barndoor fowl, rake in the dust for grains of corn.
