Fairest isle, all isles excelling, Seat of pleasure and of love,
Venus here will choose her dwelling, And forsake her cyprian grove.
Cupid from his fav'rite nation, Care and envy will remove;
Jealousy that poisnous passion, And despair that dies for love.
Gentle murmurs sweet complaining, Sighs that blow the fire of love.
Soft repulses, kind disdaining, Shall be all the pains you prove.
Ev'ry swain shall pay his duty, Grateful ev'ry nymph shall prove;
And as these excel in beauty, Those shall be re-nowned for love.

About Me
My quotations
"Never start a fight... but always finish it! "

"The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair." Douglas Adams
"We forge the chains we wear in life." Charles Dickens
"I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act." Gilbert Chesterton

"Mankind is a catalyzing enzyme for the transition from a carbon-based to a silicon-based intelligence."
Gérard Bricogne (MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge)

can be busy about that which the masses take leisurely." Lao Tsu
