Jimmy Van Heusen (26 January 1913 – 6 February 1990) was an American composer of popular songs.
Come Fly with Me
Said Jimmy to Sammy, "C'mon!
Let's write as van Heusen and Cahn."
And the songs from the team
Are still heard with esteem
As a piano bar's sine qua non.

William Hayes (bapt. 26 January 1706 – 27 July 1777) was an English composer, organist, singer and conductor.
Hazy Thoughts
His wide knowledge of Handel left a strong impression on his own music, but by no means dominated it. – Wikipedia
In George the Second's glorious days
There lived a man named William Hayes,
But though his music sometimes strayed
From under Handel's daunting shade,
His name was almost never heard
Beyond the reign of George the Third.
