Joy is a subtle elf; I think one's happiest when he forgets himself.
I shine in tears like the sun in April.
A drunkard clasp his teeth and not undo 'em,
To suffer wet damnation to run through 'em.
Joy's a subtle elf, I think man's happiest when he forgets himself.
Since, by your greatness, you
Are nearer heaven in place; be nearer it
In goodness: rich men should transcend the poor,
As clouds the earth; rais'd by the comfort of
The sun, to water dry and barren grounds.
When the bad bleeds, then is the tragedy good.
Most women have small waists the world throughout, But their desires are thousand miles about.
