When affection only speaks, truth is not always there.

Though I be poor, I'm honest.

Have you summoned your wits from woolgathering?

By many a happy accident.

There's no hate lost between us.

A little too wise, they say, do ne'er live long.

A wondrous necessary man.

Black spirits and white, red spirits and gray,/ Mingle, mingle, mingle, you that mingle may!

Ground not upon dreams; you know they are ever contrary.
