Now, he who bids his wife do what she pleases
Blunts wedlock's edge, and all its torture eases ;
For not to feel your suff'rings is the same
As not to suffer -all the diff'rence name.

Arts on the mind, like paint upon the face,
Fright him that's worth your love from your embrace.

Night! with all thine eyes look down!
Darkness! weep thy holiest dew!
Never smiled the inconstant moon
On a pair so true.

He knew whose gentle hand was on the latch
Before the door had given her to his eyes,
And from her chamber window he would catch
Her beauty farther than the falcon flies.

Keats

(Isabella).

I have loved her ever since I saw her, and still I see

her beautiful!

Shakespeare

(Two Gentlemen of Verona).

Your figure was tall then, and perfectly straight,
Though it now has two twists from upright,
But bless you, still bless you! my partner! my Kate!
Though you be such a perfect old fright!

Sleep rock thy brain,

Hood.

And never come mischance between us twain.

Shakespeare
(Hamlet).

The years they come and go,
The races drop in the grave,
Yet never the love doth so

Which here in my heart I have.

E. B. Browning.

In bond of virtuous love together tied.

Fairfax.
