Additional quotes by George Granville

The kiss you take, is paid by that you give:
The joy is mutual, and I'm still in debt.

You'd see, cou'd you her inward motions watch,
Feigning delay, she wishes for dispatch;
Into a woman's meaning wou'd you look,
Then read her backward.

Our present joy is sweeter by past pain,
To love and heav'n, by suff'ring we attain.

Of all pains, the greatest pain Is to love, and love in vain. - George Granville
