    When Darby saw the setting sun
    He swung his scythe, and home he run,
    Sat down, drank off his quart and said,
    "My work is done, I'll go to bed."
    "My work is done!" retorted Joan,
    "My work is done! Your constant tone,
    But hapless woman ne'er can say
    'My work is done' till judgment day."

The fiction pleased; our generous train complies,
Nor fraud mistrusts in virtue's fair disguise.
The work she plyed, but, studious of delay,
Each following night reversed the toils of day.

and what he will later call by many new names, you can make him
entirely reckless of the consequences to himself personally.
