I shall the effect of this good lesson keeps as watchman to my heart.
Be collected. No more amazement. Tell your piteous heart There's no harm done.
The blood weeps from my heart when I do shape, In forms imaginary, th' unguided days And rotten times that you shall look upon When I am sleeping with my ancestors.
Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand,Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.
When griping grief the heart doth wound, and doleful dumps the mind opresses, then music, with her silver sound, with speedy help doth lend redress.
Young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
No villainous bounty yet hath passed my heart; Unwisely, not ignobly, have I given.
These words are razors to my wounded heart.
You draw me, you hard-hearted adamant; But yet you draw not iron, for my heart Is true as steel: leave you your power to draw, And I shall have no power to follow you.
Sweet love! Sweet lines! Sweet life! Here is her hand, the agent of her heart; Here is her oath for love, her honour's pawn
The head is not more native to the heart.
Who could refrain that had a heart to love and in that heart courage to make love known?
A woman would run through fire and water for such a kind heart.
I did never know so full a voice issue from so empty a heart: but the saying is true 'The empty vessel makes the greatest sound'.
