I'd probably been there a hundred times or half that,
And don't remember seeing you once --
But some things are like that,
At once something old and new
If I had four words to say, five syllables with which to play, for you,
I'd say, something old and new.
Vague terms best describe you
Angel, imp, naif, tempter!
Were you reacting? Or
Are you a pre-empter?
Is there a devil behind that boyish whimper?
A tyrant's intentions to bolster your simper?
I have no idea what to think of you!
This is something old and something new,
And I'm honestly not quite sure
What I should do.

Something Old and New
Brotherhood falls asunder at the touch of fire!
He finds his fellow guilty of a skin
Not coloured like his own, and having power
To enforce the wrong, for such a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his lawful prey.
~William Cowper
