Yes, I’m in love, I feel it now,
And Caelia has undone me,
And yet I’ll swear I can’t tell how
The pleasing plague stole on me.
— William Whitehead

More quotes by William Whitehead
Of an old tale which every schoolboy knows.
Her voice, her touch, might give th’ alarm—
’Twas both perhaps, or neither,
In short, ’twas that provoking charm
Of Caelia altogether.
Wisdom alone is true ambition's aim
Wisdom the source of virtue, and of fame,
Obtained with labour, for mankind employed,
And then, when most you share it, best enjoyed.
