"Why be led, when you can be leader?
Why bow to lady luck when you can beat her?
Why sit back and relax if you can pull your fill?
Before you are taken, why not go in for the kill?
O-hohohohohoho!"

—Shantotto, Final Fantasy XI

"...Quant sor un rouge olifant
Vint uns limeçons armés
Qui lor aloit escriant :
« Fil a putain, sa venez !
Je versefie en dormant. »"
("...When on a red elephant
An armed snail arrived
That shouted to them:
‍'‍Come on then, sons of bitches!
I rhyme in my sleep.'")

—Author unknown, Fatrasies d'Arras (second half 13th century)
