O, let my lady apprehend no fear: in all Cupid's pageant there is presented no monster.

-Nor nothing monstrous neither?

Nothing, but our undertakings; when we vow to weep seas, live in fire, eat rocks, tame tigers: thinking it harder for our mistress to devise imposition enough than for us to undergo any difficulty imposed.

Of hot and cold.

To the wide world and all her fading sweets;
But I forbid thee one most heinous crime:

O, carve not with thy hours my love's fair brow.

Love knows, it is a greater grief

To bear love's wrong than hate's known injury.

Well or ill,

I am bound to you.
