No, traytress, angry Love replies,
More quotes by Matthew Prior
From ignorance our comfort flows.
The only wretched are the wise.
They never taste who always drink;
They always talk who never think.
Who breathes must suffer, and who thinks must mourn;
And he alone is bless'd who ne'er was born.
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.
