Index — Chapter LOVED <i>to</i> LYING (Part 1 of 2)

LOVED.—None without hope e’er lov’d the brightest fair:
But Love can hope, where Reason would despair.

Lyttleton.—Epigram.

Let those love now who never lov’d before,
And those who always lov’d now love the more.

Parnell.—The Vigil of Venus, the last lines.

’Tis better to have loved and lost,
Than never to have loved at all.

Tennyson.—In Memoriam, Stanza 27.

How many are not lov’d, who think they are!
Yet all are willing to believe the fair;
And, though ’tis Beauty’s known and obvious cheat,
Yet man’s self-love still favours the deceit.

Dryden.—The Conquest of Granada, Part II. Act II. Scene 1.

One that lov’d not wisely, but too well.

Shakespeare.—Othello, Act V. Scene 2. (Othello to Lodovico.)

LOVELINESS.—Loveliness
Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,
But is, when unadorn’d, adorn’d the most.

Thomson.—Autumn, Line 204.

Her gentle limbs did she undress,
And laid down in her loveliness.

Coleridge.—Christabel, Part I.

LOVELY.—Lovely Thaïs sits beside thee,
Take the good the Gods provide thee.

Dryden.—Alexander’s Feast, Verse 5.

LOVER.—What mad lover ever dy’d,
To gain a soft and gentle bride?
Or for a lady tender-hearted,
In purling streams or hemp departed?

Butler.—Hudibras, Part III. Canto I. Line 23.

And then the lover,
Sighing like a furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.

Shakespeare.—As You Like it, Act II. Scene 7. (Jaques to Duke S.)

Who shall give a lover any law?

Chaucer.—Saunders, Vol. I. Page 20.

LOVING.— So loving to my mother,
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly.

Shakespeare.—Hamlet, Act I. Scene 2. (Describing his Father’s love for his Mother.)

Why, she would hang on him
As if increase of appetite had grown
By what it fed on.

Ibid.—(The same.)
