More from Sir Walter Raleigh

  1. Fain would I, but I dare not; I dare, and yet I may not; I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
  2. Even such is time, that takes in trust Our youth, our joys, our all we have, And pays us but with age and dust; Who in the dark and silent …
  3. Silence in love bewrays more woe Than words, though ne'er so witty: A beggar that is dumb, you know, May challenge double pity.
  4. Shall I, like an hermit, dwell On a rock or in a cell?
  5. Cowards fear to die; but courage stout, Rather than live in snuff, will be put out.
  6. If she undervalue me, What care I how fair she be?
  7. Our passions are most like to floods and streams; The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
  8. Fain would I climb, yet fear I to fall.
