He loved his kind, but sought the love of few,
More quotes by Park Benjamin Sr.
And, like some low and mournful spell,
To whisper but one word—farewell!
Great faith it needs, according to my view,
To trust in that which never could be true.
Nigh to a grave that was newly made,
Leaned a sexton old on his earth-worn spade.

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.
