Additional quotes by John Suckling

They who know all the wealth they have are poor;
He's only rich that cannot tell his store.

Quit, quit, for shame, this will not move:
This cannot take her.
If of herself she cannot love,
Nothing can make her:
The devil take her!

Her feet beneath her petticoat
Like little mice stole in and out,
As if they feared the light;
But oh, she dances such a way!
No sun upon an Easter-day
Is half so fine a sight.

No grape, that’s kindly ripe, could be So round, so plump, so soft as she, Nor half so full of juice. - John Suckling
