so, my current de-stressing activity is learning English round hand from period copy-books. the lines in copy-books that aren't just practice letter-forms are horrifically boring, extremely cringe moral mottoes, and I'm running out of stuff to practice writing

current texts include the long-term nuclear waste warning message, old copypasta like "then who was phone", city names, scientific names, this alphabetic poem from an 1806 manual

any ideas for one-liners or very short texts? or, I guess, anything you want put in fancy script, albeit by a beginner
