He that is strucken blind cannot forget
The precious treasure of his eyesight lost.

And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget,
Forgetting any other home but this.
For thou wilt lie upon the wings of night
Whiter than new snow on a raven's back.
One fire burns out another's burning,
One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish.
Is there no pity sitting in the clouds,
That sees into the bottom of my grief?
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
Ere one can say "It lightens."
An hour before the worshipp'd sun
Peer'd from the golden window of the east.
Affliction is enamour'd of thy parts,
And thou art wedded to calamity.
Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye
Than twenty of their swords.
Her beauty makes
This vault a feasting presence full of light.
O, so light a foot
Will ne'er wear out the everlasting flint.
O, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!
For you and I are past our dancing days.
Every tongue that speaks
But Romeo's name speaks heavenly eloquence.
Good-night, good-night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good-night till it be morrow.
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Compare her face with some that I shall show;
And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
