Daily quote by W. S. Gilbert

• Oh! my name is John Wellington Wells,
  I'm a dealer in magic and spells,
  In blessings and curses
  And ever-filled purses,
  In prophecies, witches, and knells.
  
  If you want a proud foe to "make tracks"—
  If you'd melt a rich uncle in wax—
  You've but to look in
  On our resident Djinn,
  Number seventy, Simmery Axe!
  • Mr Wells' song, Act I.
  • "Simmery Axe" is the traditional pronunciation of "St. Mary Axe", a road in the City of London.
    In Gilbert's day, the last building was number 68, though number 70 was built later.
