"Prose Fancies"
Richard Le Gallienne
She handles him, She dandles him, She fondles him and eyes him: And if upon a tear he wakes, With many a kiss she dries him: She covets every move he makes, And never enough can prize him.
"The Complete Project Gutenberg Works of George Meredith"
George Meredith
He dandles the child of the forest on his shoulder instead of his children by you in the house.
"Bride of the Mistletoe"
James Lane Allen
