This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet
I'll fight, till from my bones my flesh be hacked.
Grief makes one hour ten.
Daffodils, That come before the swallow dares, and take The winds of March with beauty.

The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.
Of all base passions, fear is the most accursed.
A heaven on earth I have won by wooing thee.
