I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honor more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For as well as I have loved thee heretofore, mine heart will not serve now to see thee; for through thee and me is the flower of kings and knights destroyed.
Commanded love of all men indiscriminately is an obliteration of distinction between love and hate, and therefore is not love at all.
Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.
If you do not love me I shall not be loved If I do not love you I shall not love.
Not to be loved is a misfortune, but it is an insult to be loved no longer.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
Bid me to love, and I will give a loving heart to thee.
Say not that honor is the child of boldness, nor believe thou that the hazard of life alone can pay the price of it: it is not to the action that it is due, but to the manner of performing it.
If thou must love me, let it be for naught except for love's sake only.
