Love Is Kind
O, love’s best habit is a soothing tongue.
-The Passionate Pilgrim

A thousand kisses buys my heart from me;
And pay them at thy leisure, one by one….
Say, for non-payment that the debt should double,
Is twenty hundred kisses such a trouble?
–Venus and Adonis

Affection is a coal that must be cool’d;
Else, suffer’d, it will set the heart on fire
The sea hath bounds, but deep desire hath none.
—Venus and Adonis

Give me one kiss, I’ll give it thee again,
And one for interest, if thou wilt have twain.
–Venus and Adonis
