Line 301 Shakespeare really had a vision for what the ideal horse should look like.

“That thine may live when thou thyself art dead;
And so in spite of death thou dost survive,
In that thy likeness still is left alive.”

Venus is relentless, I’m almost sure I’ll give this 5 stars.

““Is thine own heart to thine own face affected?
Can thy right hand seize love upon thy left?
Then woo thyself, be of thyself rejected;
Steal thine own freedom, and complain on theft.
Narcissus so himself himself forsook
And died to kiss his shadow in the brook.”

🔥🔥🔥

“Look in mine eyeballs; there thy beauty lies.
Then why not lips on lips, since eyes in eyes?”

“Never did passenger in summer’s heat
More thirst for drink than she for this good turn.”
