| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from The Hunting of the Snark by Lewis Carroll: Though the Barrister tried to appeal to its pride,
And vainly proceeded to cite
A number of cases, in which making laces
Had been proved an infringement of right.
The maker of Bonnets ferociously planned
