@izzythepush,
Jack and the Beanstalk. The giant speaks
"Fee, fie. fo, fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman-
Be he alive, or be he dead
I'll grind his bones to make my bread."
The subjunctive is still among us
"If I were a rich man,
Deedle didle didle diddle diddle deedle didle dum..."
THis is good stuff, contrex
Long live the King!
God bless America!
Heaven forbid!
Be that as it may, he still wants to see her.
Come what may, I will never forget you.
We are all citizens of the world, as it were.
