A fool there was and he made his prayer (Even as you and I) To a rag and a bone and a hank of hair (We called her the woman who did not care) But the fool he called her his lady fair - (Even as you and I!)
Rudyard Kipling, 'The Vampire'
'What is aught, but as 'tis valued?'
William Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida
