To my shame, I see
  The imminent death of twenty thousand men,

  Without more certain and more overt tests
    Than these thin habits and poor likelihoods
      Of modern seeming do prefer against him.

To wail friends lost
  Is not by much so wholesome--profitable,
    As to rejoice at friends but newly found.
      - [Friends]

To weep, is to make less the depth of grief;
  Tears, then, for babes; blows and revenge for me.
      - [Tears]

To what base uses may we return! Why may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander, till it find it, stopping a bunghole?

      - [Death]

To wilful men,
  The injuries that they themselves procure

    To whom you are but as a form in wax,
      By him imprinted, and within his power
        To leave the figure, or disfigure it.

        Look in mine eyeballs; there thy beauty lies;
          Then why not lips on lips, since eyes in eyes?
      - [Kisses]
