If I am not worth the wooing, I surely am not worth the winning.

The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858)

Why don't you speak for yourself, John?

The Courtship of Miles Standish (1858)

The nightingales among the sheltering boughs
Of populous many-nested trees
Shall teach me how to woo thee, and shall tell me
By what resistless charms or incantations
They won their mates.
