Let's not confound the time with conference harsh:
There's not a minute of our lives should stretch
Without some pleasure now. What sport tonight?

Hedonistic Antony
Nature of desire
What our contempt doth often hurl from us,
We wish it ours again; the present pleasure,
By revolution lowering, does become The opposite of itself: she's good, being gone;

Love's blindness
Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity:
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind:
Nor hath Love's mind of any judgement taste
Wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste:
And therefore is Love said to be a child,
Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.
