Found this in a pile just now.  An excerpt from a paper on "My Last
Duchess," illustrating students' tendency to throw all the words up in
the air to rearrange themselves as they will...

"He favored her big breasts that drooped in the daylight of the West."

So you don't have to go look up the original, it goes
"Sir, 'twas all one! My favor at her breast,
The dropping of the daylight in the West,"
etc.
