The stroke of death is as a lover’s pinch,
Which hurts, and is desired.”

When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
Where Cressid lay that night.”

He told where all the running water goes,
And dressed me gently in my little clothes.”
