“Mirth, admit me of thy crew,
To live with her, and live with thee,
In unreprovèd pleasures free.”
John Milton (1608–1674) English epic poet

“Live while you live, the epicure would say,
And seize the pleasures of the present day;
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries,
And give to God each moment as it flies.
Lord, in my views, let both united be:
I live in pleasure when I live to thee.”
Epigram on his Family Arms, reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919).

Context: Every star, and every pow'r,
Look down on this important hour:
Lend your protection and defence
Every guard of innocence!
Help me my Henry to assuage,
To gain his love or bear his rage.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure,
Hast thou more of pain or pleasure!
Chill'd with tears,
Kill'd with fears,
Endless torments dwell about thee:
Yet who would live, and live without thee!
