The sands are number'd that make up my life;
Here must I stay, and here my life must end.

I cannot tell what you and oth...

I cannot tell what you and other men
Think of this life; but, for my single self,
I had as lief not be as live to be
In awe of such a thing as I myself.

This day I breathed first: tim...

This day I breathed first: time is come round,
And where I did begin there shall I end;
My life is run his compass.

Nor stony tower, nor walls of ...

Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass,
Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
Can be retentive to the strength of spirit;
But life, being weary of these worldly bars,
Never lacks power to dismiss itself.

That but this blow

That but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'ld jump the life to come.

Had I but died an hour before ...

Had I but died an hour before this chance,
I had liv'd a blessed time; for, from this instant,
There's nothing serious in mortality:
All is but toys; renown, and grace is dead;
The wine of life is drawn, and the mere lees
Is left this vault to brag of.

So weary with disasters, tugg'...

So weary with disasters, tugg'd with fortune,
That I would set my life on any chance,
To mend, or be rid on't.

Reason thus with life:

Reason thus with life:
If I do lose thee, I do lose a thing
That none but fools would keep.

Her father lov'd me; oft invit...

Her father lov'd me; oft invited me;
Still question'd me the story of my life,
From year to year, the battles, sieges, fortunes,
That I have pass'd.

On a day - alack the day! -

On a day - alack the day! -
Love, whose month is ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair
Playing in the wanton air

Love's not Time's fool, though...

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me prov'd,
I never writ, nor no man ever lov'd.

My heart is ever at your servi...

My heart is ever at your service.

The voice of parents is the voice of gods, for to their children they are heaven's lieutenants.

Though patience be a tired mare, yet she will plod.

A high hope for a low heaven: ...

A high hope for a low heaven: God grant us patience!

I do oppose
My patience to his fury, and am arm'd
To suffer, with a quietness of spirit,
The very tyranny and rage of his.

Had it pleas'd heaven
To try me with affliction * * *
I should have found in some place of my soul
A drop of patience.

Like Patience gazing on kings' graves, and smiling
Extremity out of act.

He that will have a cake out of the wheat must tarry the grinding.
