Angels listen when she speaks,

She's my delight, all mankind's wonder;
But my jealous heart would break
Should we live one day asunder.

Earl of Rochester, 1647.

She has bliss that lives and leans
On loving, and that means-
She is loved.

October 29.

To see her is to love her,
And love but her for ever;

For Nature made her what she is,
And ne'er made sic anither.

Locker.

Scotch Song.

I am sure my love's more pond'rous

Than my tongue.

True is my Love, so true
Her heart is mine alone;

Shakespeare
(King Lear).

The music of its rhythonic beat

Throbs through my own.

October 30.

What the bee is to the floweret,
When he looks for honey-dew

Through the leaves that close embower it,

That, my love, I'll be to you.

Be assured 'tis she, or none,

Moore.

That I love, and love alone.

October 20.

William Brown.

For me my fair a wreath has wove,
Where rival flow'rs in union meet;
As oft she kiss'd the gift of love

Her breath gave sweetness to the sweet.

Give me a looke, give me a face
That makes simplicitie a grace.

October 21.

Garrick.

Ben Jonson.

Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband;
And when she's froward, peevish, sullen, sour,
And not obedient to his honest will,

What is she but a foul contending rebel
And graceless traitor to her loving lord?

Shakespeare

(Taming of the Shrew). For ne'er was woman yet, or good or ill, But loved always best her own sweet Will.

Garrick.

October 21.

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.

October 23.

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.

October 24.

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.

James Hammond.

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

Shakespeare

(Antony and Cleopatra).
