Her arms are long, her shoulders braid,
Her middle gent and small;
The mould is lost, wherein was made
This A per se of all.

Notes from Wikiquote

Sighing that Nature formed but one such man And broke the die—in moulding Sheridan. | Lord Byron, "Monody—Death of Sheridan" | Si la nature a bien ou mal fait de briser le moule dans lequel elle m'a jeté, c'est ce dont on ne peut juger qu'après m'avoir lu. | J. J. Rousseau, Les Confessions, ch. 1 | L'on peut dire sans hyperbole, que la nature, après l'avoir fait en cassa la moule. | Angelo Costantini, La Vie de Scaramouche (1695) p. 245 | Non è un si bello in tante altre persone, Natura il fece, e poi roppa la stampa. | Ariosto, Orlando Furioso, Canto 10, St. 84
