“The soul hath snatched up mine all faint and weak,And placed it by thee on a golden throne,-- And that I love (O soul, we must be meek!)Is by thee only, whom I love alone.”
“Before, I loved thee as a brother, John,But now, I do respect thee as my soul.”
“Excellent wretch! Perdition catch my soul But I do love thee! and when I love thee not, Chaos is come again.”
“More than life, more than honor, I love thee."More than any crown or throne or title, I love thee. More than any power in faerie, I love thee.”
“I receive Thee ransom of my soul. For love of Thee have I studied and kept vigil toiled preached and taught…”
“I do love thee so, That I will shortly send thy soul to heaven”
