Additional quotes by Francis Quarles

This house is to be let for life or years;
Her rent is sorrow, and her income tears.
Cupid, 't has long stood void; her bills make known,
She must be dearly let, or let alone.

Thou art my life, my way, my light

The road to resolution lies by doubt:
The next way home's the farthest way about.
