More quotes by Samuel Daniel
"Beauty, sweet love, is like the morning dew, Whose short refresh upon tender green, Cheers for a time, but till the sun doth show And straight is gone, as it had never been."
"Thus doth the ever-changing course of things Run a perpetual circle, ever turning; And that same day, that highest glory brings, Brings us unto the point of back-returning."
"Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night, Brother to Death, in silent darkness born; Relive my languish, and restore the light."
"The greatest works of admiration, And all the fair examples of renown. Out of distress and misery are grown."
"Love is a sickness full of woes, all remedies refusing."
