Who can be patient in extremes?
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other side
'Tis the soldier's life to have their balmy slumbers waked with strife.
Were beauty under twenty locks kept fast, yet love breaks through and picks them all at last.
And yet,to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays.
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.
