And never staine a cheeke for it.

Additional quotes by Robert Herrick

Thou art my life, my love, my heart, the very eyes of me, And hast command of every part to live and die for thee

If little labour, little are our gains:
Man's fortunes are according to his pains.

Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt;
Nothing's so hard but search will find it out.
