{{Both|This is the text of A. E. Housman's poem ''When I was one and twenty'', in the [[Shavian:Alphabet|Shavian alphabet.]]}}

:When I was one-and-twenty
:I heard a wise man say,
:"Give crowns and pounds and guineas
:But not your heart away;	
:Give pearls away and rubies
:But keep your fancy free."
:But I was one-and-twenty;
:No use_n to talk to me.
 
:When I was one-and-twenty
:I heard him say again,
:"The heart out of the bosom
:Was never given in vain;
:Tis paid with sighs a plenty
:And sold for endless rue."
:And I am two-and-twenty,
:And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true.

::-- A. E. Housman, ''A Shropshire Lad''
