Why so pale and wan, fond lover
More quotes by John Suckling
Her face is like the Milky Way i' the sky,
A meeting of gentle lights without a name.
She's pretty to walk with,
And witty to talk with,
And pleasant, too, to think on.
High characters (cries one); and he would see
Things that ne'er were, nor are, nor ne'er will be.

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.
