She never told her love, but let concealment, like a worm 'i th' bud, feed on her damask cheek. She pinned in thought; and, with a green and yellow melancholy, she sat like Patience on a monument, smiling at grief. Was not this love indeed? We men may say more, swear more; but indeed our shows are more than will; for we still prove much in our vows but little in our love.
William ShakespeareI am asham'd that women are so simple To offer war where they should kneel for peace.
William ShakespeareBut shall we wear these glories for a day? Or shall they last, and we rejoice in them?
William Shakespeare
