SIR WALTER RALEIGH QUOTES

'Know that Love is a careless child,
And forgets promises past;
He is blind, he is deaf when he list,
And in faith never fast.

'His desire is a dureless content,
And a trustless joy;
He is won with a world of despair,
And is lost with a toy.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH, As Ye Came from the Holy Land

'Of womenkind such indeed is the love,
Or the word love abused,
Under which many childish desires
And conceits are excused.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH, As Ye Came from the Holy Land

True love is a durable fire,
In the mind ever burning.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH, As Ye Came from the Holy Land

Love likes not the falling fruit,
Nor the withered tree.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH, As Ye Came from the Holy Land
