My mind to me a kingdom is;
Such perfect joy therein I find
That it excels all other bliss
That world affords or grows by kind.
Though much I want which most men have,
Yet still my mind forbids to crave.

— Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford Attributed

So I the pleasant grape have pulled from the vine,
And yet I languish in great thirst, while others drink the wine.

A valiant mind no deadly danger fears
