Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments' costs,
Of more delight than hawks and horses be;
And having thee, of all men's pride I boast-
Wretched in this alone, that thou mayst take,
All this away and me most wretched make.
(Sonnet 91: Some Glory In Their Birth, Some In Their Skill)

Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie.
William Shakespeare
Yet so they mourn, becoming of their woe,
That every tongue says beauty should look so.
William Shakespeare

What hast thou then more than thou hadst before?
William Shakespeare
I presume
That, as my hand has open'd bounty to you,
My heart dropp'd love, my pow'r rain'd honour, more
On you than any, so your hand and heart,
Your brain, and every function of your power,
Should, notwithstanding that your bond of duty,
As 'twere in love's particular, be more
To me, your friend, than any.
William Shakespeare
For her person, it beggar'd all description.
William Shakespeare
