Emilia Lanier Quotes

Giving, Good, Mother, Simply, Tree

Then let us have our libertyagain, And challenge to yourselves no sovereignty. You came not in the world without our pain, Make that a bar against your cruelty; Your fault being greater, why should you disdain Our being your equals, free from tyranny?

Bars, Challenges, Fault, Let, Pain, World

But surely Adam cannot be excused; Her fault though great, yet he was most to blame; What weakness offered, strength might have refused, Being lord of all, the greater was the shame.

Faults, Might, Refused, Shame, Strength, Weakness

Not Eve, whose fault was only too much love, Which made her give this present to her dear, That what she tasted he likewise might prove, Whereby his knowledge might become more clear; He never sought her weakness to reprove With those sharp words which he of God did hear; Yet men will boast of knowledge, which he took From Eve's fair hand, as from a learned book.

Book, Hands, Hear, Men, Prove, Whereby

Never shall my sad eyes again behold Those pleasures which my thoughts did then unfold.

Eye, My Thoughts, Pleasure, Pleasures, Thoughts, Unfold
