Quotes

• 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
