In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed In war, he mounts the warrior's steed In halls, in gay attire is seen In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Walter Scott
Image
Then hush thee, my darling, take rest while you may, For strife comes with manhood, and waking with day.
Walter Scott
Image
In listening mood she seemed to stand, The guardian Naiad of the strand.
Walter Scott

Good wine needs neither bush nor preface to make it welcome. And they drank the red wine through the helmet barr'd.
Walter Scott

Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking, morn of toil, nor night of waking.
Walter Scott
Image
God in his goodness sent the grapes To cheer both great and small Little fools will drink too much And great fools none at all!
Walter Scott

Treason seldom dwells with courage.
Walter Scott

And love is loveliest when embalm'd in tears.
Walter Scott
