More quotes by Andrew Marvell
The world in all doth but two nations bear —
The good, the bad; and these mixed everywhere.
To make a bank was a great plot of state;
Invent a shovel, and be a magistrate.
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
No creature loves an empty space;
Their bodies measure out their place.
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.
