{{quote|Yet I would not have all yet.<br />
He that hath all can have no more ;<br />
And since my love doth every day admit<br />
New growth, thou shouldst have new rewards in store ;<br />
Thou canst not every day give me thy heart,<br />
If thou canst give it, then thou never gavest it ;|"Lovers' Infiniteness"}}
 
{{quote|O stay, three lives in one flea spare,<br />
Where we almost, yea, more than married are.<br />
This flea is you and I, and this<br />
Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is.<br />
Though parents grudge, and you, we're met,<br />
And cloister'd in these living walls of jet.<br />
Though use make you apt to kill me,<br />
Let not to that self-murder added be,<br />
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.|"The Flea"}}
 
{{quote|FOR God's sake hold your tongue, and let me love ;<br />
Or chide my palsy, or my gout;|"The Cannonization"}}
 
{{quote|I am two fools, I know,<br />
For loving, and for saying so<br />
In whining poetry ;|"The Triple Fool"}}
 
{{quote|BEFORE I sigh my last gasp, let me breathe,<br />
Great Love, some legacies ; I here bequeath<br />
Mine eyes to Argus, if mine eyes can see ;<br />
If they be blind, then, Love, I give them thee ;|"The Will"}}
 
{{quote|Death, be not proud, though some have called thee<br />
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so ;|"Holy Sonnet X"}}
