William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
Words, vows, gifts, tears, and love's full sacrifice, He offers in another's enterprise But more in Troilus thousand-fold I see Than in the glass of Pandar's praise may be, Yet hold I off.
William Shakespeare
I must be cruel, only to be kind.
William Shakespeare
O love, be moderate, allay thy ecstasy, In measure rain thy joy, scant this excess!
