My love is thaw'd; Which, like a waxen image 'gainst a fire, 420. Love and scorn. To be 2-ii. 4. In love, where scorn is bought with groans; coy looks, 421. Lover. I have not seen So likely an ambassador of love: If he be not one that truly loves you, That errs in ignorance, and not in cunning, I have no judgment in an honest face. 423. Lover, lunatic, and poet. The lunatic, the lover, and the poet, 2—i. 1. 9-ii. 9. 37-iii. 3. One sees more devils than vast hell can hold; Sees Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt: The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And, as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen A local habitation, and a name. Such tricks hath strong imagination; That, if it would but apprehend some joy, It comprehends some bringer of that joy; She stripp'd it from her arm; I see her yet; 7-v. 1. 31-ii. 4. If ever thou shalt love, In the sweet pangs of it remember me: am, all true lovers are; Unstaid and skittish in all motions else, Save, in the constant image of the creature That is beloved. 427. The same. 4-ii. 4. True lovers run into strange capers; but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature, in love, mortal in folly. 10-ii. 4. Nay, 't is true; there was never any thing so sudden, but the fight of two rams, and Cæsar's thrasonical brag of—I came, saw, and overcame: For your brother and my sister no sooner met, but they looked; no sooner looked, but they loved; no sooner loved, but they sighed; no sooner sighed, but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason, but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage They are in the very wrath of love, and they will together; clubs cannot part them. 429. The same. 10-v. 2. Jig off a tune at the tongue's end, canary to it with your feet, humour it with turning up your eyelids; sigh a note, and sing a note: sometime through the throat, as if you swallowed love with singing love; sometime through the nose, as if you snuffed up love by smelling love; and keep not too long in one tune, but a snip and away; These are complements, these are humours; these betray nice wenches. 8-iii. 1. What! gone without a word? Ay, so true love should do: it cannot speak; For truth hath better deeds, than words, to grace it. Alas! this parting strikes poor lovers dumb. 2-ii. 2. How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night, 35-ii. 2. The truest poetry is the most feigning; and lovers are given to poetry; and what they swear in poetry, may be said, as lovers, they do feign. We make woe wanton with this fond delay: 10-iii. 3. Once more, adieu; the rest let sorrow say. 17—v. 1. 434. Lovers, their incongruity. Tell this youth what 't is to love. It is to be all made of sighs and tears; All made of passion, and all made of wishes; All humbleness, all patience, and impatience, 10-v. 2. Lovers, and madmen, have such seething brains, Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend God, the best maker of all marriages, As man and wife, being two, are one in love. Let me not to the marriage of true minds 7-v. 1. 20-v. 2. Poems. God forbid that I should wish them sever'd Whom God hath join'd togetherm. 23-iv. 1. Have I lived thus long-(let me speak myself, Have I with all my full affections loved him next heaven? obey'd him? Been, out of fondness, superstitious to him? Almost forgot my prayers to content him? And am I thus rewarded? 't is not well.Bring me a constant woman to her husband; One, that ne'er dream'd a joy beyond his pleasure: And to that woman, when she has done most, Yet will I add an honour,-a great patience. Those, that do teach young babes, Do it with gentle means, and easy tasks: 25-iii. 1. "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."-Matt. xix. 6. He might have chid me so; for, in good faith, 37-iv. 2. I have been to you a true and humble wife, Ever in fear to kindle your dislike, Yea, subject to your countenance; glad, or sorry, I ever contradicted your desire, Or made it not mine too? Or which of your friends He was from thence discharged? Sir, call to mind, You are my true and honourable wife; That visit my sad heart. 'T is not to make me jealous, 25-ii. 4. 29-ii. 1. To say-my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, • Which makes fair gifts fairer. |
