“And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.”

“reason andlove keep little company together now-a-days...”

“So we grew together,Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,But yet an union in partition,Two lovely berries moulded on one stem.”

“The wine-cup is the little silver well, Where truth, if truth there beDoth dwell.”

“The expedition of my violent love outrun the pauser, reason.”

“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...”

“love thou the rose: yet leave it on its stem”
