I love the language, that soft bastard Latin,
Which melts like kisses from a female mouth,
And sounds as if it should be writ on satin,
With syllables which breathe of the sweet South,
And gentle liquids gliding all so pat it,
That not a single accent seems uncouth,
Like our harsh northern whistling, grunting guttural,
Which we're obliged to his, and spit, and sputter all.
George Gordon Lord Byron
