John Lyly

John Lyly
If all the earth were paper white / And all the sea were ink / 'Twere not enough for me to write / As my poor heart doth think.
John Lyly
Where the mind is past hope, the heart is past shame.
John Lyly
As the best wine doth make the sharpest vinegar, so the deepest love turns to the deadliest hate.
John Lyly
When adversities flow, then love ebbs but friendship standeth stiffly in storms.
