------------------ Mine ear is much enamoured to thy note; So is mine eye enthalled to thy shape, And thy fair virtue's force perforce doth move me On the first view to say, to swear, I love thee.
Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books; but love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
Doubt the stars are fire. Doubt the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love.
No sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked than they loved than they sighed, no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy.
Did my heart love 'til now? Forswear it sight, for I never saw true beauty 'til this night.
So dear I love her that with her, all deaths I could endure. Without her, live no life.
Twice or thrice had I loved thee before I knew thy face or name, so in a voice, so in a shapeless flame, angels affect us oft, and worshipped be.
Hate stirreth up strifes, but love cevereth all sins.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.
