Gentle thou art, and therefore to be won;
Beauteous thou art, therefore to be assailed;
And when a woman woos, what woman's son
Will sourly leave her till he have prevailed?
(Sonnet 41: Those Pretty Wrongs That Liberty Commits)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
Not mine own fears, nor the prophetic soulOf the wide world, dreaming on things to come
Can yet the lease of my true love control,
Supposed as forfeit to a confined doom.
William Shakespeare
My salad days, When I was green in judgment cold in blood, To say as I said then.
William Shakespeare
As I hope
For quiet days, fair issue, and long life,
With such love as 'tis now, the murkiest den,
The most opportune place, the strong'st suggestion
Our worser genius can, shall never melt
Mine honour into lust, to take away
The edge of that day's celebration,
When I shall think or Phoebus' steeds are founder'd
Or Night kept chain'd below.
William Shakespeare
I may disjoin my hand, but not my faith.
William Shakespeare
I understand a fury in your words,But not the words.
William Shakespeare
My lord, these griefs shall be with speed redress'd;
Upon my soul, they shall.
William Shakespeare
