On Love:
To enlarge or illustrate this power and effect of love is to set a candle in the sun.
On Life:
Most part of a lover’s life is full of agony, anxiety, fear and grief, complaints, sighs, suspicions, and cares (heigh-ho my heart is woe), full of silence and irksome solitariness.
On Death:
The fear of death is worse than death.
On Happiness:
No happiness is like unto it, no love so great as that of man and wife, no such comfort as a sweet wife.
On Religion:
One religion is as true as another.
