In poetry:
The more thou didst ask us to turn and relent,
Our morals to mend, and our sins to repent,
We sinn'd worse and worse, and more desperate grew,
And farther and farther from mercy withdrew.
"Another, On The Same Occasion" by Rees Prichard
Yet this will be, may, this must be the case,
If soon thy sinful life thou dost not mend:
Then, for Christ's sake, these overtures embrace,
Ere God his plagues, to punish thee, shall send.

To dress, to bow, to speak and smile with art?
Then flaunt abroad, through whirling pleasures borne,
Nor steal one secret hour to mend the heart?
"Time: An Elegy. Written Near The Ruins Of Elgin Cathedral" by Robert Alves
The great physician, Time, shall pacify
This parting anguish with another friend.
Your heart is broken now, but it will mend.
Though it is death, yet still you will not die.
Good-bye! Good-bye!
"Good-bye" by Ada Cambridge
If you see the stable-door setting open wide;
If you see a tired horse lying down inside;
If your mother mends a coat cut about and tore;
If the lining's wet and warm — don't you ask no more!
"A Smuggler's Song" by Rudyard Kipling
A genius brighter than a dunce
May follow up two trades at once;
For mending shoes, and teaching school,
Are seldom follow'd by a fool:
Two occupations here we find,
One props the body--one, the mind.
"The Jack Daw" by William Hutton
