Forever, and forever, farewell, Cassius!

If we do meet again, why, we shall smile;

If not, why then this parting was well made.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Julius Caesar. Act v. Sc. 1.

O villain, villain, smiling, damned villain!

My tables,—meet it is I set it down,

That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain:

At least I'm sure it may be so in Denmark.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Hamlet. Act i. Sc. 5.

Meet me by moonlight alone,

And then I will tell you a tale

Must be told by the moonlight alone,

In the grove at the end of the vale!

J A Wade (1800-1875): Meet me by Moonlight.

How gladly would I meet

Mortality my sentence, and be earth

Insensible! how glad would lay me down

As in my mother's lap!

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book x. Line 775.

O Caledonia! stern and wild,

Meet nurse for a poetic child!

Land of brown heath and shaggy wood;

Land of the mountain and the flood!

Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832): Lay of the Last Minstrel. Canto vi. Stanza 2.

We meet thee, like a pleasant thought,

When such are wanted.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850): To the Daisy.

1 W.  When shall we three meet again

In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

2 W.  When the hurlyburly's done,

When the battle's lost and won.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Macbeth. Act i. Sc. 1.
