Love Matters
Were I the fairest youth
That ever made eye swerve, had force and knowledge
More than was ever man’s, I would not prize them
Without her love.
-The Winter’s Tale,
Act IV, Scene iv

Were I the fairest youth
That ever made eye swerve, had force and knowledge
More than was ever man’s, I would not prize them
Without her love.
-The Winter’s Tale,
Act IV, Scene iv

No settled senses of the world can match
The pleasure of that madness….
For this affliction has a taste as sweet
As any cordial comfort.

Act V, Scene iii

Though Fortune, visible an enemy,
Should chase us…power no jot
Hath she to change our loves.
–The Winter’s Tale,
Act V, Scene i

You’ll kiss me hard and speak to me as if
I were a baby still. I love you better.
-The Winter’s Tale
Act II, Scene i

The gifts she looks from me are pack’d and lock’d
Up in my heart; which I have given already,
But not deliver’d.
-The Winter’s Tale,
Act IV, Scene iv

Ere I could make thee open thy white hand
And clap thyself my love: then didst thou utter ‘I am yours for ever.’

Act I, Scene ii
