More from Walter Raleigh
Our passions are most like to floods and streams; The shallow murmur, but the deep are dumb.
Silence in love bewrays more woe Than words, though ne’er so witty: A beggar that is dumb, you know, May challenge double pity.
So when thou hast, as I Commanded thee, done blabbing — Although to give the lie Deserves no less than stabbing — Stab at thee he that will, No stab the soul can kill.
