And it's always good when we have believable accounts of when it doesn't quite go to plan, Hence Pitt's "My country! How I leave my country!", alternatively related as "My country! How I love my country!", or again "My country! o, my country!" - the good effect undermined by the reality - "... I think I could eat one of Bellamy's veal pies... "

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
