True lovers have been ever cross'd, 



Then let us teach our trial patience ; 



Because it is a customary cross, 



As due to love, as thoughts, and dreams, and sighs, 



Wishes, and tears, poor fancy's followers. . . same.

 And soothe the woes it cannot cure.

Answer. 



Had it pleas'd Heaven to try me with affliction 

 Steep'd me in poverty to the very lips ; 

 Given to captivity me and my utmost hopes ; 

 I should have found in some part of my soul 



A drop of patience 



But there where I have garner'd up my heart ; 

 Where either I must live, or bear no life ; 

 The fountain from the which my current runs, 

 Or else dries up ; to be discarded thence ! . . Shaks. 



Exiled from all my soul holds dear ! 



Life hath no torture so severe. . . Euripides 1 Medea. 



Patience says, 'tis past her cure ! Shaks.

 Had ne'er a lighter heart than she.
