As honour, love, obedience, troops of friends, / I must not look to have; but, in their stead, / Curses, not loud but deep, mouth-honour, breath, / Which the poor heart would fain deny, and dare not" (5.3.25-28).
William ShakespeareRead
But love, first learned in a lady's eyes,_x000D_ _x000D_ Lives not alone immured in the brain;_x000D_ _x000D_ But, with the motion of all elements,_x000D_ _x000D_ Courses as swift as thought in every power,_x000D_ _x000D_ And gives to every power a double power,_x000D_ _x000D_ Above their functions and their offices.
