Léo Delibes (1 February 1836 – 16 January 1891) was a French composer, best known for his ballets and operas.
Future Tense
The "Flower Duet" from Lakmé is frequently used in advertisements and films. - adapted from Wikipedia, s.v. “Flower Duet”
Delibes would have lived without debt
If his bank had been able to get,
With prompt regularity
His checks from posterity
For the use of the “Flower Duet”.

Stefano Donaudy (21 February 1879 – 30 May 1925) was an Italian composer.
Ye Olde…
Donaudy's most famous collection is 36 Arie di Stile Antico. – Wikipedia
A singer spoke up and said, “Howdy!
My songs for today won’t be rowdy”
And then for a while
He began to beguile
In the antico style of Donaudy.
