"Arise, ye workers (starvelings) from your slumbers!" Or how about "Yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin."? (Impressive to a non-believing 10 year-old, though possibly more for the tune...) And definitely one of my favourites, as well as "Ever since the day my dug ate Auntie Bella" (quoted by the second poster -- written by Jimmy Copeland, the late Scottish actor) -- "I to the hills will lift mine eyes", first line of Paraphrase 121 in the Scottish Metrical Psalms.
