Of all the paths lead to a woman's love
Pity's the straightest.
The Knight of Malta (1647)

Of future love.

And three merry boys are we.
As ever did sing in a hempen string
Under the gallows tree.

Falls with the leaf in October.

And a capon for the sinner.

Sorrow calls no time that's gone;
Violets plucked, the sweetest rain
Makes not fresh nor grow again.

Nor how, so we die well; and can that man that does so
Need lamentation for him?
Valentinian (1610)

'Tis necessity
To which the gods must yield; and I obey,
Till I redeem it by some glorious way.
and Philip Massinger in The False One (1620)

Pluck off thy veil, and view thy triumph; look,
Look what thou hast brought this land to!—

Evil beginning houres may end in good.
The Knight of Malta (1647)
A woman friend! He that believes that weakness,
Steers in a stormy night without a compass.
Women Pleased (1647)
She lays her breasts out too, like two poach'd eggs
That had the yolks suckt out.
Drink today, and drown all sorrow;
You shall perhaps not do't tomorrow.
Rollo, Duke of Normandy, or The Bloody Brother (1617)
Oh love will make a dog howl in rhyme.
I'll put that in my considering cap.
