I never was on the dull, tame shore,
More quotes by Bryan Procter
Pity speaks to grief
More sweetly than a band of instruments.
All round the room my silent servants wait,
My friends in every season, bright and dim.
The sweetest noise on earth, a woman's tongue;
A string which hath no discord.
Within the midnight of her hair,
Half-hidden in its deepest deeps.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
