 There may be in the cup
A spider steep'd, and one may drink, depart, And yet partake no venom. (II,i) |

I am a feather for each wind that blows. (II,iii)

Are summer songs for me and my aunts, While we lie tumbling in the hay. (IV,iii) |
|
|
A merry heart goes all the day Your sad tires in a mile-a. (IV,iii) |
