Joseph Addison
Quotes
|
Then grew a wrinkle on fair Venus' brow,
The amber sweet of love is turn'd to gall!

Or to her virtues be a friend,
But instantly your forehead louers,
As if her merit lessen'd yours?

O jealousy,
Thou ugliest fiend of hell! thy deadly venom
Preys on my vitals, turns the healthful hue
Of my flesh check to haggard sallowness,
And drinks my spirit up!
