“So wise so young, they say, do never live long.”

“The oldest hath borne most; we that are youngShall never see so much, nor live so long.”

“So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

“The weight of this sad time we must obey,Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.The oldest hath borne most: we that are youngShall never see so much, nor live so long.”

“I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'.”

“O, if I say, you look upon this verse,When I perhaps compounded am with clay,Do not so much as my poor name rehearse,But let your love even with my life decay;Lest the wise world should look into your moan,And mock you with me after I am gone.”

“Yet do thy worst old Time: despite thy wrong,My love shall in my verse ever live young”
