Additional quotes by William Shenstone

Perish the lover, whose imperfect flame
Forgets one feature of the nymph he lov'd.

For seldom shall she hear a tale
So sad, so tender, yet so true.

Prudent men should lock up their motives, giving only their intimates a key.

Her cap, far whiter than the driven snow, Emblem right meet of decency does yield. - William Shenstone
