    “‘Tis probable Religion after this
    Came next in order; which they could not miss.

    Besides the waters of themselves did rise,
    And, as their land, so them did re-baptize.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    “Too nice is neighbor’s fool.”
    —Common Dutch saying, trans by Johanna C. Prins.

    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
