    Scottish poet Robert Burns. It is about a mouse which carefully builds a winter nest in a wheat field‚ only for it to be destroyed by a ploughman. It is written in Scots dialect. The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men Gang aft a-gley‚ An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain‚ For promised joy!

    Shakespeare Sonnet 1

    surprisingly Shakespeare offers another way to defeat time: the sonnet itself “engrafts” the young man‚ keeping him beautiful forever. When I consider every thing that grows
 Holds in perfection but a little moment‚
 That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows

 When I perceive that men as plants increase‚
 Cheered and cheque’d even by the self-same sky‚ 
Vaunt in their youthful sap‚ at height decrease‚ 
And wear their brave state out of memory;

Take up the White Man’s burden-- The savage wars of peace-- Fill full the mouth of Famine And bid the sickness cease; And when your goal is nearest The end for others sought‚ Watch sloth and heathen Folly Bring all your hopes to nought.

The ports ye shall not enter‚ The roads ye shall not tread‚ Go mark them with your living‚ And mark them with your dead

    responsible for the death. Right from the prologue‚ there is a clear indication that fate is going to play a big role in the play. The prologue says ‘ancient grudge’‚ ‘fatal loins’‚ ‘star-cross’d lovers’‚ ‘death mark’d love’ and ‘ children’s end nought could remove.’ This makes clear references to the family feud and the children’s death.
