John Suckling quotes

If I a fancy take
To black and blue,
That fancy doth it beauty make. (John Suckling)

Will, when looking well can't move her, Looking ill prevail? Prithee, why so pale?

John Suckling

Why so pale and wan, fond lover Prithee, why so pale?

John Suckling

Quit, quit, for shame, this will not move: This cannot take her. If of herself she cannot love, Nothing can make her: The devil take her!

John Suckling

Tis now since I sat down before That foolish fort, a heart, (Time strangely spent) a year, and more, And still I did my part:.

John Suckling

Her feet beneath her petticoat Like little mice stole in and out, As if they feared the light; But oh, she dances such a way! No sun upon an Easter-day Is half so fine a sight.

John Suckling

Oh for some honest lover's ghost, Some kind unbodied post Sent from the shades below! I strangely long to know Whether the nobler chaplets wear Those that their mistress' scorn did bear, Or those that were used kindly.
