And when love speaks, the voice of all the godsMakes heaven drowsy with the harmony.
Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight, For I never saw true beauty till this night
Doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age
My bounty is as boundless as the sea, my love as deep. The more I give thee, the more I have, For both are infinite
Then let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent.
Few things loves better Than to abhor himself.
Love that well which thou must leave ere long.
What's done is done. The joy is in the doing.
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love... 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; What's in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet...
I may command where I adore.
A pair of star-crossed lovers.
An earnest conjuration from the King, As England was his faithful tributary, As love between them like the palm might flourish, As peace should still her wheaten garland wear And stand a comma 'tween their amities, And many such-like as's of great charge, That, on the view and knowing of these contents, Without debatement further, more or less, He should the bearers put to sudden death, Not shriving time allow'd.
Besides, our nearness to the King in love Is near the hate of those love not the King.
Love`s reason`s without reason
