Young heads take example of the ancient

I grieve and dare not show my discontent, I love and yet am forced to seem to hate, I do, yet dare not say I ever meant, I seem stark mute but inwardly do prate. I am and not, I freeze and yet am burned, Since from myself another self I turned. My care is like my shadow in the sun, Follows me flying, flies when I pursue it, Stands and lies by me, doth what I have done.

It is hard to find beauty in the art of self expression.

One man with a head on his shoulders is worth a dozen without.

Though the sex to which I belong is considered weak you will nevertheless find me a rock that bends to no wind.

Chastity is the ermine of woman's soul.

I do not want a husband who honors me as a queen if he does not love me as a woman.
