Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love,
More quotes by Isaac Bickerstaffe
By candle-light nobody would have taken you for above five-and-twenty.
Health is the greatest of all possessions; a pale cobbler is better than a sick king.
'Tis a sure sign work goes on merrily, when folks sing at it.

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.
