Round-heads and wooden-shoes are standing jokes.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719): Prologue to The Drummer.

Great God! I 'd rather be

A Pagan suckled in a creed outworn,

So might I, standing on this pleasant lea,

Have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

Have sight of Proteus rising from the sea,

Or hear old Triton blow his wreathed horn.

William Wordsworth (1770-1850): Miscellaneous Sonnets. Part i. xxxiii.

There are a sort of men whose visages

Do cream and mantle like a standing pond.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): The Merchant of Venice. Act i. Sc. 1.

The green mantle of the standing pool.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): King Lear. Act iii. Sc. 4.

Standing with reluctant feet

Where the brook and river meet,

Womanhood and childhood fleet!

Henry W Longfellow (1807-1882): Maidenhood.
