More from John Fletcher
Death hath so many doors to let out life.
Of all the paths lead to a woman's love Pity's the straightest.
Oh, woman, perfect woman! what distraction Was meant to mankind when thou wast made a devil! What an inviting hell invented.
Then, everlasting Love, restrain thy will; 'Tis god-like to have power, but not to kill.
Let's meet and either do or die.
'Tis a word that's quickly spoken, Which being restrained, a heart is broken.
