Fondling of a happy pair.Ambrose Philips

Happy, happy, happy pair!
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserves the fair.John Dryden
He in a few minutes ravished this fair creature, or at least would have ravished her, if she had not, by a timely compliance, prevented him.
Henry Fielding
Happy bridegroom, Hesper brings
All desired and timely things.
All whom morning sends to roam,
Hesper loves to lead them home.
Home return who him behold,
Child to mother, sheep to fold,
Bird to nest from wandering wide:
Happy bridegroom, seek your bride.A. E. Housman
On a day — alack the day! —
Love, whose month is ever May,
Spied a blossom passing fair
Playing in the wanton airWilliam Shakespeare
The blossom is out in full now, it’s plum tree, it looks like apple blossom but it’s white. It’s the whitest, frothiest blossomest blossom that ever could be, and I can see it. Things are both more trivial than they ever were and more important than they ever were, and the difference between the trivial and the important doesn’t seem to matter. But the now-ness of everything is absolutely wondrous.
Dennis Potter
