Though care killed a cat, thou hast mettle enough in thee to kill care
Suffer love! A good ephitet! I do suffer love indeed, for I love thee against my will.
Before, I loved thee as a brother, John, But now, I do respect thee as my soul.
Fare thee well, king: sith thus thou wilt appear, Freedom lives hence, and banishment is here.
I charge thee, hence, and do not haunt me thus.
It were a grief so brief to part with thee. Farewell.
There's no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune.
Love hath made thee a tame snake
Such is my love, to thee I so belong, That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
I love thee, and it is my love that speaks
I love thee; none but thee, and thou deservest it
What made me love thee? let that persuade thee, there's something extraordinary in thee
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.
Tremble, thou wretch, That hast within thee undivulged crimes Unwhipped of justice.
