William Shakespeare
This night I hold an old accustomed feast, Whereto I have invited many a guest, Such as I love and you among the store, One more, most welcome, makes my number more.
William Shakespeare
She is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
William Shakespeare
Do not swear by the moon, for she changes constantly. Then your love would also change.
William Shakespeare
Hide not thy poison with such sugar'd words
