Additional quotes by George Granville

The kiss you take, is paid by that you give:
The joy is mutual, and I'm still in debt.

Of all pains, the greatest pain
Is to love, and love in vain.

She will, and she will not, she grants, denies,
Consents, retracts, advances, and then flies.

Since truth and constancy are vain, Since neither love, nor sense of pain, Nor force of reason, can persuade, Then let example be obey'd. - George Granville
