To be slow in words is a woman's only virtue.
Love`s reason`s without reason
O, then, what graces in my love do dwell, that he hath turn'd a heaven unto hell
My love admits no qualifying dross
She cannot love, nor take no shape nor project or affection, she is so self-endeared
The chameleon Love can feed on the air
The ostentation of our love, which, left unshown, is often left unloved.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well which thou must leave ere long
What power is it which mounts my love so high, that makes me see, and cannot feed mine eye
Alas, their love may be call'd appetite. No motion of the liver, but the palate
All fancy-sick she is and pale of cheer, with sighs of love, that costs the fresh blood dear.
And ruin`d love when it is built anew, grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater
Be like you thought our love would last too long, if it were chain'd together
But miserable most, to love unloved? This you should pity rather than despise
