Had I no eyes but ears, my ears would love. That inward beauty and invisible; Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move each part in me that were but sensible: Though neither eyes nor ears, to hear nor see, yet should I be in love by touching thee. 'Say, that the sense of feeling were bereft me, and that I could not see, nor hear, nor touch, and nothing but the very smell were left me, yet would my love to thee be still as much; for from the stillitory of thy face excelling comes breath perfum'd that breedeth love by smelling.

The arms are fair, When the intent of bearing them is just.

Absence doth sharpen love, presence strengthens it; the one brings fuel, the other blows it till it burns clear.

To beguile the time, look like the time. Bear welcome in your eye, your hand, your tongue.
