A lover's eyes will gaze an eagle blind.
Lovers ever run before the clock
In thy youth wast as true a lover, As ever sighed upon a midnight pillow
Lovers can do their amorous rites by their own beauties
The sight of lovers feedeth those in love.
You are a lover. Borrow Cupid's wings and soar with them above a common bound.
When words are scarce they are seldom spent in vain.
It is as easy to count atomies as to resolve the propositions of a lover.
The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch, which hurts and is desired.
We that are true lovers run into strange capers; but as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love mortal in folly.
Love is blind, it stops lovers seeing the silly things they do.
If ever thou shalt love, In the sweet pangs of it remember me; For such as I am all true lovers are, Unstaid and skittish in all motions else Save in the constant image of the creature That is beloved.
