Look at a gown of gold, and you will at least get a sleeve of it.
Walter Scott
Image
In love quarrels the party that loves the most is always most willing to acknowledge the greater fault.
Walter Scott

Walter Scott
Image
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
