More quotes by John Ogilby
They that have Power to do, may, when they will,
Pick Quarrels, and, pretending Justice, kill.
When they and Venus to his cottage came,
For lust-rewards prefer'd the Cyprian dame.
Then let him swear he ne'er the lady knew,
And did with her as men with women do.
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.
