Quotes
edit- SILENA:
O Cupid! Monarch over Kings,
Wherefore hast thou feete and wings?
It is to show how swift thou art,
When thou wound’st a tender heart:
Thy wings being clip’d, and feete held still,
Thy Bow so many could not kill.
ACCIUS:
It is all one in Venus wanton schoole,
Who highest sits, the wise man or the foole:
Fooles in loves colledge
Have farre more knowledge,
To read a woman over,
Than a neate prating lover.
Nay, tis confest,
That fooles please women best.- Act III, scene iii, lines 1–14
