“Despair and hope makes thee ridiculous:
The one doth flatter thee in thoughts unlikely;
In likely thoughts the other kills thee quickly.”
So true.

649-654: “For where Love reigns, disturbing Jealousy
Doth call himself Affection’s sentinel,
Gives false alarms, suggesteth mutiny,
And in a peaceful hour doth cry ‘Kill, kill!’
Distemp’ring gentle Love in his desire
As air and water do abate the fire.”

Were beauty under twenty locks kept fast,
Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last.”

Shone like the moon in water seen by night.”
