Additional quotes by John Donne

Methinks I lied all winter, when I swore
My love was infinite, if spring makes it more.

Sweetest love, I do not go, For weariness of thee, Nor in hope the world can show A fitter love for me; But since that I Must die at last, 'tis best, To use my self in jest Thus by feigned deaths to die.

Filled with her love, may I be rather grown
Mad with much heart, then idiot with none.

If ever any beauty I did see, Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee. - John Donne
