Love is your master, for he masters you;
  And he that is so yoked by a fool

  Of thy success in love, and what news else
    Betideth here in absence of thy friend,
      And I likewise will visit thee with mine.
      - The Two Gentlemen of Verona
         (Valentine at I, i) [Post]

Were't not affection chains thy tender days
  To the sweet glances of thy honored love,
    I rather would entreat thy company
      To see the wonders of the world abroad
        Than, living dully sluggardized at home,
          Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.
      - The Two Gentlemen of Verona
         (Valentine at I, i) [Idleness]

Yet writers say, as in the sweetest bud
  The eating canter dwells, so eating love
    Inhabits in the finest wits of all.

Fie, fie, how wayward is this foolish love
  That, like a testy babe, will scratch the nurse
    And presently all humbled kiss the rod!

I have no other but a woman's reason:

  The uncertain glory of an April day,
    Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
      And by and by a cloud takes all away!

Marry, by these special marks: first, you have learned, like Sir Proteus, to wreathe your arms like a malcontent, to relish a love-song like a robin-redbreast, to walk alone like one that had the pestilence, to sigh like a schoolboy that had lost his A B C, to weep like a young wench that had buried her grandam, to fast like one that takes diet, to watch like one that fears robbing, to speak puling like a beggar at Hallowmas.

Why, man, if the river were dry, I am able to fill it with my tears. If the wind were down, I could drive the boat with my sighs.

A fine volley of words, gentlemen, and quickly shot off.

         (Valentine at II, iv) [Wives]
