A Lecture upon the Shadow by John Donne

Stand still, and I will read to thee 1

A lecture, Love, in Love's philosophy.

These three hours that we have spent,

Walking here, two shadows went

Along with us, which we ourselves produced. 5

These three hours that we have spent,

Walking here, two shadows went

Along with us, which we ourselves produced. 5

But, now the sun is just above our head,

We do those shadows tread,

And to brave clearness all things are reduced.

So whilst our infant loves did grow, 9

Disguises did, and shadows, flow

From us and our cares ; but now 'tis not so.

That love hath not attain'd the highest degree,

Which is still diligent lest others see. 13

Except our loves at this noon stay,

We shall new shadows make the other way.

As the first were made to blind

Others, these which come behind 17

Will work upon ourselves, and blind our eyes.

If our loves faint, and westerwardly decline,

To me thou, falsely, thine

And I to thee mine actions shall disguise. 21

Love is a growing, or full constant light, 25

And his short minute, after noon, is night.

Who Ever Loved That Loved Not at First Sight? by Christopher Marlowe

It lies not in our power to love or hate,�For will in us is overruled by fate.�When two are stripped, long ere the course begin,��

We wish that one should love, the other win;�And one especially do we affect�Of two gold ingots, like in each respect:��The reason no man knows; let it suffice�What we behold is censured by our eyes.��

Where both deliberate, the love is slight:�Who ever loved, that loved not at first sight?

From Macbeth

MALCOLM

'Tis his main hope:

For where there is advantage to be given,

Both more and less have given him the revolt,

And none serve with him but constrained things

Whose hearts are absent too.

MACDUFF

Let our just censures

Attend the true event, and put we on

Industrious soldiership.

44 by William Shakespeare

If the dull substance of my flesh were thought,�Injurious distance should not stop my way; �For then despite of space I would be brought, �From limits far remote where thou dost stay.

No matter then although my foot did stand

Upon the farthest earth removed from thee; �For nimble thought can jump both sea and land

As soon as think the place where he would be. �But ah! thought kills me that I am not thought, �To leap large lengths of miles when thou art gone,

But that so much of earth and water wrought �I must attend time's leisure with my moan,�Receiving nought by elements so slow �But heavy tears, badges of either's woe.

The Good-Morrow by John Donne

I wonder by my troth, what thou and I 1

Did, till we loved ? were we not wean'd till then?

But suck'd on country pleasures, childishly?

Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den?

'Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be; 5

If ever any beauty I did see,

Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.

And now good-morrow to our waking souls, 9

Which watch not one another out of fear;

For love all love of other sights controls,

And makes one little room an everywhere.

Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone; 13

Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown;

Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.

My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,

And true plain hearts do in the faces rest; 17

Where can we find two better hemispheres

Without sharp north, without declining west?

Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally;

If our two loves be one, or thou and I 21

Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.
