in black ink my love may still shine bright.
I understand thy kisses, and thou mine, And that's a feeling disputation.
It comes to pass oft that a terrible oath, with a swaggering accent sharply twanged off, gives manhood more approbation than ever proof itself would have earned him.
I feel within me a peace above all earthly dignities, a still and quiet conscience.
On the batโs back I do fly After summer merrily.
Adversity makes strange bedfellows.
