‘If music be the food of love, play on’
‘The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch, Which hurts and is desired’
‘Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind’
‘I love you more than words can wield the matter, Dearer than eyesight, space and liberty’
‘Come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy, That one short minute gives me in her sight’
