Find me a reasonable lover against his weight in gold.

he who leaps from a rock.
Plautus—Trinummus. II. 1. 30.

Is it, in Heav'n, a crime to love too well?
To bear too tender or too firm a heart,
To act a lover's or a Roman's part?
Is there no bright reversion in the sky
For those who greatly think, or bravely die?

alone,
And muses on the faces of the friends that he has
known,
So I turn the leaves of Fancy, till in shadowy
I find the smiling features of an old sweetheart
of mine.

Are as a string of pearls to me;
I count them over, every one apart,
My rosary, my rosary.

To know her was to love her.

Trust thou thy Love: if she be proud, is she not
