    Patience

    If then true lovers have been ever cross’d,
    It stands as an edict in destiny:
    Then let us teach our trial patience,
    Because it is a customary cross,
    As due to love as thoughts and dreams and sighs.

    –A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
    Act I, Scene i

    Beguiled

    Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgement taste;
    Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
    And therefore is Love said to be a child,
    Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.

    –A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
     Act I, Scene i

    Joined With a Vow

    My heart unto yours is knit
    So that but one heart we can make of it;
    Two bosoms interchained with an oath;
    So then two bosoms and a single troth.

    The Course of True Love

    Ay me! for aught that I could ever read,
    Could ever hear by tale or history,
    The course of true love never did run smooth.
