LOVE'S BLINDNESS.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
Midsummer Night's Dream, Act i. Sc. 1. SHAKESPEARE.
None ever loved but at first sight they loved.
Blind Beggar of Alexandria. G. CHAPMAN.
We only love where fate ordains we should,
And, blindly fond, oft slight superior merit.
Fall of Saguntum. PH. FROWDE.
But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit.
Merchant of Venice, Act ii. Sc. 6. SHAKESPEARE.
