John Gay Heart Quotations

We only part to meet again. / Change, as ye list, ye winds; my heart shall be / The faithful compass that still points to thee.

Nor love, not honor, wealth nor power, can give the heart a cheerful hour when health is lost. Be timely wise; With health all taste of pleasure flies.

If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, The mist is dispelled when a woman appears.

If the heart of a man is depressed with cares, The mist is dispell'd when a woman appears; Like the notes of a fiddle, she sweetly, sweetly Raises the spirits, and charms our ears.
