Dr. John Wolcot Wolcott used pseudonym Peter Pindar
Discord, a sleepless hag who never dies, With Snipe-like nose, and Ferret-glowing eyes, Lean sallow cheeks, long chin with beard supplied, Poor crackling joints, and wither'd parchment hide, As if old Drums, worn out with martial din, Had clubb'd their yellow Heads to form her Skin.
|
Jean Ingelow
And bitter waxed the fray; Brother with brother spake no word When they met in the way.
|
Jean Ingelow
And old affront will stir the heart Through years of rankling pain.
|
Samuel Butler
Have always been at daggers-drawing, And one another clapper-clawing.
|
Sir Samuel Garth
Dissensions, like small streams, are first begun, Scarce seen they rise, but gather as they run: So lines that from their parallel decline, More they proceed the more they still disjoin.
|
Thomas Moore
Alas! how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love! Hearts that the world in vain had tried, And sorrow but more closely tied; That stood the storm when waves were rough, Yet in a sunny hour fall off.
|
William Shakespeare
Believe me, lords, my tender years can tell Civil dissension is a viperous worm That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.
|
William Shakespeare
If they perceive dissension in our looks And that within ourselves we disagree, How will their grudging stomachs be provoked To willfull disobedience, and rebel!
