Some to church repair,
Not for the doctrine, but the music there.
These equal syllables alone require,
Though oft the ear the open vowels tire;
While expletives their feeble aid to join,
And ten low words oft creep in one dull line.
-- Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
-- Essay on Criticism, Part ii, Line 142
