1554-1624.

_Mustapha_. Act v. Sc. 4.

O wearisome condition of humanity!

Sonnet LVI.

And out of minde as soon as out of sight.

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE.

1565-1593.

_Hero and Leander_.

Who ever loved that loved not at first sight.

_The Pa.s.sionate Shepherd to his Love_.

Come live with me, and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove That valleys, groves, and hills, and folds, Woods, or steepy mountains, yield.

SIR WALTER RALEIGH.

1552-1618.

_The Nymph's Reply to the Pa.s.sionate Shepherd_.

If all the world and love were young, And truth in every shepherd's tongue, These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee, and be thy love.

_The Silent Lover_.

Silence in love betrays more love Than words, though ne'er so witty; A beggar that is dumb, you know, May challenge double pity.

JOSHUA SYLVESTER 1563-1618.
