Let old Timotheus yield the prize,
Or both divide the crown;
He rais’d a mortal to the skies;
She drew an angel down.
--
l. 167-170.John Dryden
There will be a prize of half a crown for the longest essay, irrespective of any possible merit.
Evelyn Waugh
The man forget not, though in rags he lies,
And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.Mark Akenside
Last night I saw the grass
Slowly divide (it was the same scene
But now it glowed a fierce and mortal green)
And saw the dog emerging.Richard Wilbur
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword.
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.Larry Mullen
As palace mirror'd in the stream, as vapour mingled with the skies,
So weaves the brain of mortal man the tangled web of Truth and Lies.Sir Richard Francis Burton
