Famous quotes by edmund waller:

    The yielding marble of her snowy breast.
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    Go, lovely Rose—
    Tell her that wastes her time and me
    That now she knows,
    When I resemble her to thee,
    How sweet and fair she seems to be.
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)

    It was my heaven’s extremest sphere,
    The pale which held that lovely deer;
    My joy, my grief, my hope, my love,
    Did all within this circle move!
    Edmund Waller (1606–1687)
