Walter Raleigh
A wandering minstrel I A thing of shreds and patches Of ballads, songs and snatches And dreamy lullaby!
Walter Raleigh
Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which, perchance, will never last nor please thee one year and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all.
Walter Raleigh
It is the nature of men having escaped one extreme, which by force they were constrained long to endure, to run headlong into the other extreme, forgetting that virtue doth always consist in the mean.
Walter Raleigh
Love likes not the falling fruit, Nor the withered tree.
Walter Raleigh
