Ben Jonson Quotes About Love

Quotes about: Love

• Come, my Celia, let us prove, While we can, the sports of love, Time will not be ours for ever, He, at length, our good will sever; Spend not then his gifts in vain: Suns that set may rise again; But if once we lose this light, 'Tis with us perpetual night. Why should we defer our joys? Fame and rumour are but toys.

  Ben Jonson

• If I freely may discover
  What should please me in my lover,
  I would have her fair and witty,
  Savouring more of court than city;
  A little proud, but full of pity;
  Light and humorous in her toying,
  Oft building hopes, and soon destroying,
  Long, but sweet in the enjoying;
  Neither too easy nor to hard;
  All extremes I would have barr'd.

  Ben Jonson

  Love, Sweet, Witty

  Ben Jonson (2013). “Delphi Complete Works of Ben Jonson (Illustrated)”, p.690, Delphi Classics
