Haste thee, Nymph, and bring with thee Jest, and youthful Jollity, Quips, and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Nods, and Becks, and wreathed Smiles, Such as hang on Hebe's cheek, And love to live in dimple sleek Sport that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides.

How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year!
John Milton

Death to life is crown or shame.
John Milton
Image
Hung over her enamour'd, and beheld Beauty, which, whether waking or asleep, Shot forth peculiar graces.
John Milton

What honour that, But tedious waste of time, to sit and hear So many hollow compliments and lies.
