Happy in Love
Now, for the love of Love and her soft hours,
Let’s not confound the time with conference harsh:
There’s not a minute of our lives should stretch
Without some pleasure now.
–Antony and Cleopatra,
Act I, Scene i

Now, for the love of Love and her soft hours,

–Antony and Cleopatra,
Act I, Scene i

I love thee; I have spoke it
How much the quantity, the weight as much.
–Cymbeline,
Act IV, Scene ii

What made me love thee? Let that persuade thee
There’s something extraordinary in thee…
I love thee; none but thee; and thou deserves it.
–The Merry Wives of Windsor,
Act III, Scene iii

And there reigns love and all love’s loving parts…
Their images I loved I view in thee,
And thou, all they, hast all the all of me.
–Sonnet XXXI (31)

Nor did I wonder at the lily’s white,
Nor praise the deep vermilion in the rose;
They were but sweet, but figures of delight,
Drawn after you, you pattern of all those.
–Sonnet XCVIII (98)

My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love;
Thy grace being gain’d cures all disgrace in me.
–The Passionate Pilgrim

I love thee so, that maugre all thy pride,
Nor wit nor reason can my passion hide.
–Twelfth Night,
Act III, Scene i
