This cannot take her.
If of herself she cannot love,
Nothing can make her:
The devil take her!”

“Will, when looking well can't move her,
Looking ill prevail?
Prithee, why so pale?”

Why So Pale and Wan, Fond Lover?

Like little mice stole in and out,
As if they feared the light;
But oh, she dances such a way!
No sun upon an Easter-day
Is half so fine a sight.”

John Suckling
