Delights: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations
All delights are vain; but that most vain, Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain. L. L1 L. These violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die; like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume; the sweetest honey Is loathsome in its own deliciousness, And in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore, love moderately; long love doth so; Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.— R. J. ii. 8.
