Let still the woman take

An elder than herself; so wears she to him,
So sways she level in her husband's heart.

Love is like a child,

That longs for every thing that he can come by.

Love sought is good, but given unsought is better.

Let us be keen, and rather cut a little,
Than fall, and bruise to death.

Lawful mercy is

Nothing akin to foul redemption.

Love talks with better knowledge, and knowledge with dearer love.

Loving goes by haps:

Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.

Life is a shuttle.

Lovers ever run before the clock.

Love all ; trust a few;

Do wrong to none.

Love, that comes too late,

Like a remorseful pardon slowly carried,
To the great sender turns a sour offence,
Crying, that's good that's gone.

Let the world slide.

Light vanity, insatiate cormorant,

Consuming means, soon preys upon

itself.

Light boats sail swift, though greater hulks draw deep.

Let not virtue seek

Remuneration for the thing it was: for beauty,

wit,

High birth, vigour of bone, desert in service, Love, friendship, charity, are subjects all

To envious and calumniating time.
