When you take occasions to see leeks hereafter, I pray you mock at 'em, that is all...

I blame fatigue. Or Henry V. Or Blackadder. Or, possibly, the Duke of York. angevin2, sensibly, blames me.

"By the pricking of my thumbs, a prize-winning leek this way comes."
"Oh Romeo, oh Romeo - wherefore are thou a prize-winning leek?"

Or, following your Yeats' theme from previously:
"Why should I blame her, that she filled my days with prize-winning leeks?"
"The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of prize-winning leeks."

Or how about Milton?
"Of Man's first disobedience, and the prize-winning leek whose mortal taste brought death into the World..."

Must... stop...

Leeks are better than English noblemen because leeks are tasty and a welcome addition to any dinner. English noblemen, well, not so much.
