the belle of amherst is one reason my daughter's name is Emily.

its hard to select a single favorite, but this one comes to mind as a special one.
THERE is no frigate like a book
  To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
  Of prancing poetry.
  
This traverse may the poorest take	        5
  Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
  That bears a human soul!
