O Mistress mine, where are you roaming? O, stay and hear; your true love's coming, That can sing both high and low: Trip no further, pretty sweeting; Journeys end in lovers meeting, Every wise man's son doth know. What is love?

To lie that way thou goest, not whence thou com'st.

For gnarling sorrow hath less power to bite
The man that mocks at it and sets it light.
William Shakespeare
