He that loves thee, He that keeps — Francis Quarles

"The way to bliss lies not on beds of down, And he that has no cross deserves no crown."

"Even such is man, whose glory lends His life a blaze or two, and ends."

"We spend our midday sweat, our midnight oil; We tire the night in thought, the day in toil."

"The road to resolution lies by doubt: The next way homes the farthest way about."

"Reason can discover Things only near; sees nothing thats above her."

"This house is to be let for life or years; Her rent is sorrow, and her income tears. Cupid, t has long stood void; her bills make known, She must be dearly let, or let alone."
