Ben Jonson Quotes

If I Freely May Discover
What Should Please Me In My Lover,
I Would Have Her Fair And Witty,
Savouring More Of Court Than City;
A Little Proud, But Full Of Pity;
Light And Humorous In Her Toying,
Oft Building Hopes, And Soon Destroying,
Long, But Sweet In The Enjoying;
Neither Too Easy Nor To Hard;
All Extremes I Would Have Barr'd.
