Cleon hath a million acres,—ne'er a one have I;

Cleon dwelleth in a palace,—in a cottage I.

Charles Mackay (1814-1889): Cleon and I.

Happy the man whose wish and care

A few paternal acres bound.

Alexander Pope (1688-1744): Ode on Solitude.

In those holy fields

Over whose acres walked those blessed feet

Which fourteen hundred years ago were nail'd

For our advantage on the bitter cross.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Henry IV. Part I. Act i. Sc. 1.
