While lying the shade of the maple trees under—
He felt the soft breeze at its frolicksome play;
He smelled the sweet odor of newly mown hay.- Under the Trees, reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922), p. 494.

Sweet Alice, whose hair was so brown;
Who wept with delight when you gave her a smile,
And trembled with fear at your frown!- Ben Bolt, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).
