Thou art my life, my love, my heart, The very eyes of me: And hast command of every part To live and die for thee.
Love is a circle that doth restless move in the same sweet eternity of love.
I sing of brooks, of blossoms, birds, and bowers: Of April, May, or June, and July flowers. I sing of Maypoles, Hock-carts, wassails, wakes, Of bridegrooms, brides, and of the bridal cakes.
The first act's doubtful, but we say, it is the last commends the play.
Show me thy feet, show me thy legs, thy thighs Show me those fleshy principalities; Show me that hill where smiling love doth sit, Having a living fountain under it; Show me thy waist, then let me there withal, By the ascension of thy lawn, see all.
When words we want, love teacheth to indite; And what we blush to speak, she bids us write.
To the Virgins, To Make much of Time Gather ye rose-buds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying. The glorious lamp of heaven, the sun, The higher he’s a-getting, The sooner will his race be run, And nearer he is to setting. That age is best which is the first, When youth and blood are warmer; But being spent, the worse, and worst Times still succeed the former. Then be not coy, but use your time, And while you may, go marry; For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.
Wealth cannot make a life, but Love.
The person lives twice who lives the first life well
Tis not the food, but the content, That makes the table's merriment.
Who covets more is evermore a slave.
A sweet disorder in the dress Kindles in clothes a wantonness A lawn about the shoulders thrown Into a fine distraction.
Bid me to live, and I will liveThy Protestant to be,Or bid me love, and I will giveA loving heart to thee.
Some asked me where the rubies grew, And nothing I did say; But with my finger pointed to The lips of Julia.
That age is best which is the first When youth and blood are warmer.
Give me a kiss, and to that kiss a score: Then to that twenty, add a hundred more.
What is a kiss? Why this, as some approve: the sure, sweet cement, glue, and lime of love.
Buying, possessing, accumulating--this is not worldliness. But doing this in the love of it, with no love of God paramount--doing it so that thoughts of eternity and God are an intrusion--doing it so that one's spirit is secularized in the process; this is worldliness.
In vain our labours are, whatsoe'er they be, unless God gives the Benediction.
Oft have I heard both youths and virgins say, Birds chuse their mates and couple too this day: But by their flight I never can devine When I shall couple with my valentine.
Learn this of me, where'er thy lot doth fall, Short lot, or not, to be content with all.
Then be not coy, but use your time; And while ye may, go marry: For having lost but once your prime, You may for ever tarry.
Thus times do shift, each thing his turn does hold; New things succeed, as former things grow old.
Love is maintain'd by wealth: when all is spent, Adversity then breeds the discontent.
Well I sup and well I dine, When I drink my frolic wine.
