O, how full of briers is this working-day world!
All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.
All thy vexations Were but my trials of thy love, and thou Hast strangely stood the test; here, afore heaven, I ratify this my rich gift.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Rude am I in my speech, And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace.
He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding.
