Or else it stood upon the choice of friends;
Or, if there were a sympathy in choice,
War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it.
SHAKESPEARE, Midsummer Night’s Dream.

If thou rememberest not the slighest folly
That ever love did make thee run into.
As You Like It.
Cry the man mercy! love him, take his offer.
As You Like It.
