“Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
But being got it is a treasure sweet,

And ought not be profaned on either part,
For though tis got by chance,tis kept by art.”

“The mountain and the squirrel
Had a quarrel,
And the former called the latter Little Prig;”

All that man is,
All mere complexities,
The fury and the mire of human veins.”
