Valkyrie — Love Me If You Can

"Lysander:— How now, my love? Why is your cheek so pale? How chance the roses there do fade so fast?
Hermia:— Belike for want of rain, which I could well Beteem them from the tempest of my eyes.
Lysander:— Ay me! [he comforts her] for aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history
The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood—
Hermia:— O cross! too high to be enthralled to low.
Lysander:— Or else misgraffed in respect of years—
Hermia:— O spite! too old to be engaged to young.
Lysander:— Or else it stood upon the choice of friends—
Hermia:— O hell! to choose love by another's eyes!
Lysander:— Or, if there were a sympathy in choice, War, death, or sickness did lay siege to it—
Making it momentany as a sound, Swift as a shadow, short as any dream, 
Brief as the lightning in the collied night That, in a spleen, unfolds both heaven and earth;
And ere a man hath power to say 'Behold!' The jaws of darkness do devour it up:
So quick bright things come to confusion."
William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Act I, Scene 1, 1605 [Then let us teach our trial patience.]

"Amoretta:— Lusty boys and free, and very, Very, very lusty boys are we ; We can drink till all look blue."
