All is well ended if this suit be won. That you express content; which we will pay, With strife to please you, day exceeding day.
William ShakespeareLove is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs; Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes; Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, A choking gall, and a preserving sweet. *Hereโs what love is: a smoke made out of lovers' sighs. When the smoke clears, love is a fire burning in your loverโs eyes. If you frustrate love, you get an ocean made out of lovers' tears. What else is love? Itโs a wise form of madness. Itโs a sweet lozenge that you choke on.*
William ShakespeareO, but they say, the tongues of dying men enforce attention, like deep harmony: where words are scarce, they are seldom spent in vain: for they breathe truth, that breathe their words in pain. he, that no more must say, is listened more than they whom youth and ease have taught to gloze; more are men's ends marked, than their lives before: the setting sun, and music at the close, as the last taste of sweets, is sweetest last; writ in rememberance more than things long past
