Turn I my looks unto the skies,
Love with his arrows wounds my eyes;
If so I look upon the ground,

Love then in every flower is found.

Dr. Thomas Lodge.

But gently entreating and sweetly beguiling,

Woman reigns, while the graces around her are smiling.

Schiller.

I am not mine, but thine; I vow thy 'hests I will obey, And serve thee as a servant ought, in pleasing, if I may.

Richard Edwards.

Look in my face, and say if there is aught
I have not dared, I would not dare for thee.

Longfellow

(The Spanish Student).

Beauty and worth in her alike contend
To charm the fancy and to fix the mind;
In her, my wife, my mistress, and my friend,
I taste the joys of sense and reason join'd.

There's beggary in the love that can be reckoned.

Shakespeare

The de'il he could na skaith thee,
Or aught that wad belang thee;
He'd look intil thy bonnie face,
And say,
"I canna wrang thee."

Wae's the wife that wants the tongue,
But weel's the man that gets her.

Scotch Proverb.

She is full of jewels; but I am most taken
With the bravery of her mind, although
Her garments have all grace and ornament.

Shirley.

Thou art my treasure, my joy, my delight,
Thou art my sunbeam, the star of my night!

My dear mistress has a heart

From the German.

Soft as those kind looks she gave me
When with love's resistless art

And her eyes she did enslave me.

Earl of Rochester, 1647.

Song, beauty, youth, love, virtue, joy-this group
Of bright ideas, flowers of paradise,
Were all her own; and she was mine.

Young.
