To persecute
Makes a faith hated, and is furthermore
No perfect witness of a perfect faith
In him who persecutes.
Queen Mary: A Drama (1876)
Love's too precious to be lost,
A little grain shall not be spilt.
In Memoriam A.H.H (1849)
Staled by frequence, shrunk by usage into commonest commonplace!
Locksley Hall Sixty Years After (1886)
With a little hoard of maxims preaching down a daughter's heart.
Charm us, orator, till the lion look no larger than the cat.

Come out, my lord, it is a world of fools.
Queen Mary: A Drama (1876)
He makes no friend who never made a foe.
My doom is, I love thee still.
Let no man dream but that I love thee still.
God gives us love. Something to love
He lends us; but when love is grown
To ripeness, that on which it throve
Falls off, and love is left alone.
Sleep sweetly, tender heart, in peace!
Sleep, holy spirit, blessed soul,
While the stars burn, the moons increase,
And the great ages onward roll.
Authority forgets a dying king,
Laid widow’d of the power in his eye
That bow’d the will.
Morte D'Arthur (1842)
We love but while we may;
And therefore is my love so large for thee,
Seeing it is not bounded save by love.
As if some lesser God had made the world,
And had not force to shape it as he would.
She with all the charm of woman,
She with all the breadth of man.
Locksley Hall Sixty Years After (1886)
Authors—essayist, atheist, novelist, realist, rhymester, play your part,
Paint the mortal shame of nature with the living hues of art.
Locksley Hall Sixty Years After (1886)
But the jingling of the guinea helps the hurt that Honor feels.
Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labour be?
The Lotos-Eaters (1832)
Let observation with extended observation observe extensively.
That a sorrow's crown of sorrow is remembering happier things.
Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies.
