6 quotes

There's nothing that allays an angry mind
So soon as a sweet beauty.

The Elder Brother (1625)

Let no man fear to die: We love to sleep all,
And death is but the sounder sleep.

The Humorous Lieutenant (1619)

Fountain heads and pathless groves,
Places which pale passion loves.

All love’s emblems, and all cry,
"Ladies, if not pluck’d, we die."

Valentinian (1610)

Of all the paths lead to a woman's love
Pity's the straightest.

The Knight of Malta (1647)

Danae in a Brazen Tower,
Where no love was, lov’d a Showr.

Valantinian (1647)
