As Tammie glow'red, amazed and curious,

The mirth and fun grew fast and furious.

Robert Burns (1759-1796): Tam o' Shanter.

You hear that boy laughing?—you think he's all fun;

But the angels laugh, too, at the good he has done;

The children laugh loud as they troop to his call,

And the poor man that knows him laughs loudest of all.

Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1894): The Boys.
