Fall not a tear, I say; one of them rates
All that is won and lost: give me a kiss ;
Even this repays me.

Antony and Cleopatra, iii. 11.

As you are as virtuous as fair,

Resolve your angry father, if my tongue
Did e'er solicit, or my hand subscribe
To any syllable that made love to you.
-Why, sir, say if you had,

Who takes offence at that would make me glad?

Pericles, ii. 5.

June 30th.

When he had occasion to be seen,
He was but as the cuckoo is in June,
Heard, not regarded.

First Part of Henry IV., iii. 2.

You are

As dear to me as are the ruddy drops

That visit my sad heart.

Julius Cæsar, ii. t.

More active-valiant or more valiant-young,
More daring or more bold, is now alive
To grace this latter age with noble deeds.

First Part of Henry IV., v. I.

On the ground,
Sleep sound:
I'll apply

To your eye,

Gentle lover, remedy.

When thou wakest,

Thou takest

True delight

In the sight

Of thy former lady's eye :

And the country proverb known,
That every man should take his own,
In your waking shall be shown:
Jack shall have Jill;

Nought shall go ill;

The man shall have his mare again, and all shall be well. Midsummer-Night's Dream, iii. 2.

JULY.

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade.

He makes a July's day short as December.

Winter's Tale, i. 2.

July 2d.

Love's Labour Lost, v. 2.

Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say 'Ay,'

And I will take thee at thy word.
