Wile some no other cause for life can give
More quotes by John Oldham
Curse on the man who business first designed,
And by't enthralled a freeborn lover's mind!
And should you visit now the seats of bliss,
You need not wear another form but this.
Lord of myself, accountable to none,
But to my conscience, and my God alone.
Ah, dearer than my soul…
Dearer than light, or life, or fame.

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
