Philosophers dwell in the moon.
The Lover's Melancholy (1628)
He hath shook hands with time.
The Broken Heart (1625)
The joys of marriage are the heaven on earth,
Life's paradise, great princess, the soul's quiet,
Sinews of concord, earthly immortality,
Eternity of pleasures; no restoratives
Like to a constant woman!
The Broken Heart (1625)
Brother, even by my mother's dust, I charge you,
Do not betray me to your mirth or hate.
Tis Pity She's a Whore (1629)
There's not a hair
Sticks on my head but, like a leaden plummet,
It sinks me to the grave: I must creep thither;
The journey is not long.
The Broken Heart (1625)
He is a noble gentleman; withal
Happy in his endeavours: the general voice
Sounds him for courtesy, behaviour, language,
And every fair demeanour, an example:
Titles of honour add not to his worth;
Who is himself an honour to his title.
The Lady's Trial (1638)
Why, I hold fate
Clasped in my fist, and could command the course
Of time's eternal motion, hadst thou been
One thought more steady than an ebbing sea.
Tis Pity She's a Whore (1629)
Busy opinion is an idle fool.
Tis Pity She's a Whore (1629)
There is a place,
List, daughter! in a black and hollow vault,
Where day is never seen; there shines no sun,
But flaming horror of consuming fires;
A lightless sulphur, choked with smoky fogs
Of an infected darkness; in this place
Dwell many thousand thousand sundry sorts
Of never-dying deaths.
Tis Pity She's a Whore (1629)
