More quotes by John Hoole
But such their power who rule with tyrant sway,
Whom most they loath the people most obey.
What has that wretched damsel left to boast,
What good on earth, whose virtuous praise is lost?
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.
