“O woman-country! wooed not wed,
Loved all the more by earth's male-lands,
Laid to their hearts instead.”

“Men are April when they woo, December when they wed…”

“Give a man a girl he can love,
As I, O my love, love thee;
And his heart is great with the pulse of Fate,
At home, on land, on sea.”

“Doubt not a woman's hardihood; no danger is too great for wedded love to face.”
Crede vigori femineo. Castum haud superat labor ullus amorem.

“Alas for love, if thou wert all,
And naught beyond, O Earth!”

“If the great Captain of Plymouth is so very eager to wed me,
Why does he not come himself, and take the trouble to woo me?
If I am not worth the wooing, I surely am not worth the winning!”

“O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.”

“O, human love! thou spirit given,
On Earth, of all we hope in Heaven!”

“O eyes long laid in happy sleep!
O happy sleep, that lightly fled!
O happy kiss, that woke thy sleep!
O love, thy kiss would wake the dead!”

“There is no spectacle on earth more appealing than that of a beautiful woman in the act of cooking dinner for someone she loves.”
