Additional quotes by George Wither

Hang sorrow! care will kill a cat,
And therefore let ’s be merry.

Though I am young, I scorn to flit
On the wings of borrowed wit.

I loved a lass, a fair one, As fair as e'er was seen;
She was indeed a rare one, Another Sheba queen:
But, fool as then I was, I thought she loved me too:
But now, alas! she's left me, Falero, lero, loo!

And I oft have heard defended,— Little said is soonest mended. - George Wither
