Review indicative passive of all conjugations

You know it's time to clean your room when you find half of a 1918 War Savings Bond on which are scrawled seemingly random lines of numbers, a few lines of Milton's poetry,* a few other lines of poetry Google won't identify, some doodling, and some Latin homework.

I am so not making this up.



* "What hath night to do with sleep?
Night hath other sweets to prove,
Venus now wakes, and wakens Love."

The person writing on the bond then wrote the word "Love" a few more times, then had some fun writing a cursive capital L over and over again, nearly obscuring the third line quoted.

And in the margin, to the left of the line "Night hath other sweets to prove," is the note "Oh, yes."

Torn in half and used for scrap paper? I'm not convinced. Collectors tend to like things in significantly better condition than this.

The scribbling provides some entertainment value, though. Even if the writer hadn't written her name on the paper, it would've been a pretty safe assumption that it was a female.
