LOVE IN FOUR CENTURIES.
A Collection of Verses Which Prove That However Great May Be the Changes Wrought By Time on Other Products of Human Endeavor, the Art of Expressing the “Grande Passion” Remains Immutable.
SWEET-AND-TWENTY.
By William Shakespeare (1564–1616).
Oh, mistress mine, where are you roaming?
Oh, stay and hear; your true love’s coming,
That can sing both high and low;
Trip no farther, pretty sweeting;
Journeys end in lover’s meeting,
Every wise man’s son doth know.
