4 quotes

Gather the rose of love, while yet thou mayest,
Loving, be loved; embracing, be embraced.

Gerusalemme Liberata (1581)

Lost is all the time that you don't spend in love.

She fair, he full of bashfulness and truth,
Loved much, hoped little, and desired nought.

Gerusalemme Liberata (1581)

Lost is all that time
I didn't spend in love!

Aminta (1573)
