Quote of the day
" Cherry ripe, ripe, ripe, I cry,
Full and fair ones,--come and buy!
If so be you ask me where
They do grow, I answer, there,
Where my Julia's lips do smile,--
There 's the land, or cherry-isle.
Some asked me where the rubies grew,
And nothing I did say;
But with my finger pointed to
The lips of Julia.
Some asked how pearls did grow, and where?
Then spoke I to my girl
To part her lips, and showed them there
The quarelets of pearl.
A sweet disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness.
A winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestuous petticoat;
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility,--
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.
You say to me-wards your affection 's strong;
Pray love me little, so you love me long.
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a-flying,
And this same flower that smiles to-day
To-morrow will be dying.
Fall on me like a silent dew,
Or like those maiden showers
Which, by the peep of day, do strew
A baptism o'er the flowers.
Fair daffadills, we weep to see
You haste away so soon:
As yet the early rising sun
Has not attained his noon.
Thus woe succeeds a woe, as wave a wave.
Her pretty feet, like snails, did creep
A little out, and then,
As if they played at bo-peep,
Did soon draw in again.
Her eyes the glow-worm lend thee,
The shooting-stars attend thee;
And the elves also,
Whose little eyes glow
Like the sparks of fire, befriend thee.
I saw a flie within a beade
Of amber cleanly buried.
Thus times do shift,--each thing his turn does hold;
New things succeed, as former things grow old.
Out-did the meat, out-did the frolick wine.
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt;
Nothing 's so hard but search will find it out.
But ne'er the rose without the thorn.
