Catspaw: I don't know what you're supposed to do with the command "Hard on to the wind", but if someone yelled that at me I'd probably look about and ask "where?".

There is a madrigal about unrequited love of which the first line is "Hard by a fountain, Damon sat complaining". As you might imagine, there were titters aplenty in the choir. (should I have said giggles?)
