“O, train me not, sweet mermaid, with thy note,to drown me in thy sister’s flood of tears.”
“Sin from thy lips? O trespass sweetly urged!Give me my sin again.”
“Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.”
“Sweets to the sweet, farewell! I hoped thou shouldst have been my Hamlet’s wife; I thought thy bride-bed to have decked, sweet maid, And not have strewed thy grave.”
“But thou, contracted to thine own bright eyes,Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,Making a famine where abundance lies,Thyself thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel.”
“thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce.”
“O my love, my wife!Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breathHath had no power yet upon thy beauty.”
