And, I pray thee now, tell me for
which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me?
–Much Ado About Nothing,
Act V, Scene ii

All thy vexations
Were but my trials of thy love and thou
Hast strangely stood the test here, afore Heaven,
I ratify this my rich gift.
–The Tempest,
Act IV, Scene i

…for in the very torrent, tempest, and (as I may say)
whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire and beget a
temperance that may give it smoothness.
^Hamlet,
Act III, Scene ii

Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
–Sonnet LXXXVIII (88)

You should account me the more virtuous
That I have not been common in my love.
-Coriolanus,
Act II, Scene iii

I do not seek to quench your love’s hot fire,
But qualify the fire’s extreme rage,
Lest it should burn above the bounds of reason.
-Two Gentlemen of Verona,
Act II, Scene vii
