Fairest Isle, all isles excelling,
More quotes by John Dryden
Death in itself is nothing; but we fear
To be we know not what, we know not where.
Whate’er he did, was done with so much ease,
In him alone 'twas natural to please.
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.
