Love seeks a guerdon; friendship is as God,
More quotes by Richard Hovey
Praise be to you, O hills, that you can breathe
Into our souls the secret of your power!
The people blossoms armies and puts forth
The splendid summer of its noiseless might.
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.
