“Love is a fiend, a fire, a heaven, a hell
Where pleasure, pain, and sad repentance dwell”
Richard Barnfield
“As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made.”
Richard Barnfield
“Apply thy minde to be a vertuous man
Auoyd ill company (the spoyle of youth;)
To follow Vertues Lore doo what thou can,
(Whereby great profit vnto thee ensuth;)
Reade Bookes, hate Ignorance; (the Foe to Art,
The Damme of Errour, Enuy of the hart).”
Richard Barnfield
“And Shakespeare thou, whose honey-flowing Vaine, (Pleasing the World) thy Praises doth obtaine. Whose Vemis, and whose Lucrece (sweete, and chaste) Thy Name in fames immortall Booke haue plac't. Liue euer you, at least in Fame liue euer: Well may the Bodye dye, but Fame dies neuer.”
