Like rats, oft bite the holy cords a-twain
Which are too intrinse t’ unloose; smooth every passion

With every gale and vary of their masters,
Knowing nought, like dogs, but following.”

“When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and cheque’d even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time debateth with Decay,
To change your day of youth to sullied night;
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.”

When thou hold'st up thy hand: O, let me kiss
This princess of pure white, this seal of bliss!”

We’re back!
