Quotes

  • Simon Sushynskyhas quoted6 months ago
    Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion;
    A woman's gentle heart, but not acquainted
    With shifting change, as is false women's fashion:
    An eye more bright than theirs, less false in rolling,
    Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth;

    And for a woman wert thou first created;
    Till Nature, as she wrought thee, fell a-doting,
    And by addition me of thee defeated,

    And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
    The age to come would say 'This poet lies;
    Such heavenly touches ne'er touch'd earthly faces.'
    So should my papers, yellow'd with their age
