Additional quotes by John Suckling

Why so pale and wan, fond lover? Prithee why so pale?

Her face is like the milky way i' the sky,
A meeting of gentle lights without a name.

For streaks of red were mingled there,
Such as are on a Catherine pear (The side that's next the sun)

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