So on the tip of his subduing tongue
All kinds of arguments and questions deep,
All replication prompt, and reason strong,
For his advantage still did wake and sleep.
To make the weeper laugh, the laugher weep,
He had the dialect and different skill,
Catching all passion in his craft of will.
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Sonnets & other Poetry
-- A Lover's Complaint, Line 120
