Sida 138 - SHALL I, wasting in despair, Die because a woman's fair? Or make pale my cheeks with care 'Cause another's rosy are? Be she fairer than the day, Or the flowery meads in May, If she think not well of me, What care I how fair she be?
Sida 61 - By a daisy, whose leaves spread, Shut when Titan goes to bed ; Or a shady bush or tree, She could more infuse in me, Than all Nature's beauties can In some other wiser man.

Sida 59 - I'll fly where I never did : And though for her sake I'm crost, Though my best hopes I have lost, And knew she would...
Sida 138 - Cause I see a woman kind ; Or a well-disposed nature Joined with a lovely feature ? Be she meeker, kinder, than Turtle-dove or pelican, If she be not so to me What care I how kind she be...
Sida 61 - Though thou be to them a scorn That to nought but earth are born, Let my life no longer be Than I am in love with thee...
