Which of the nymphs or muses is his joy?
Who has inveigled the ingenious boy?

More quotes by Shackerley Marmion

What find you better or more honourable than age? Take the preheminence of it in everything, — in an old friend, in old wine, in an old pedigree.

Great joys, like griefs, are silent.

Holland's Leaguer (1632)

Tell me what you find better, or more honourable than age. Is not wisdom entail'd upon it? Take the pre-eminence of it in every thing; in an old friend, in old wine, in an old pedigree.

The Antiquary (1641)

Oh! that I were a veil upon that face,
To hide it from the world! Methinks I could
Envy the very sun for gazing on you!

The Antiquary (1641)
