English (original)
Love quickly is pall'd, Tho' with labour 'tis gain'd; Wine never does cloy Tho' with ease 'tis obtain'd. We sing while you sigh, We laugh while you weep; Love robs you of rest, Wine lulls us asleep.
— Thomas Shadwell

Every man loves what he is good at.
I am, out of the ladies' company, like a fish out of the water.
And wit's the noblest frailty of the mind.
The haste of a fool is the slowest thing in the world.
Song like a rose should be; Each rhyme a petal sweet; For fragrance, melody, That when her lips repeat The words, her heart may know What secret makes them so:—
And also there’s a little star So white a virgin’s it must be:— Perhaps the lamp my love in heaven Hangs out to light the way for me.
