For where thou art, there is the world itself, With every several pleasure in the world, And where thou art not, desolation.
Make the upcoming hour overflow with joy, and let pleasure drown the brim.
All love's pleasure shall not match its woe.
The daintiest last, to make the end most sweet.
A whoreson jackanapes must take me up for swearing; as if I borrowed mine oaths of him and might not spend them at my pleasure. When a gentleman is disposed to swear, it is not for any standers-by to curtail his oaths, ha?
Thou mak'st me merry: I am full of pleasure; let us be jocund
'Tis better to be vile than vile esteemed, When not to be, receives reproach of being, And the just pleasure lost, which is so deemed, Not by our feeling, but by others' seeing.
No profit grows where there is no pleasure taken
No profit grows where no pleasure is taken; In brief, sir, study what you most affect
How like a winter hath my absence been. From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year! What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen, What old December's bareness everywhere!
These flowers are like the pleasures of the world.
