Quotes Only tell her that I love:  Leave the rest to her and Fate:Some kind planet from aboveMay perhaps her pity move:  Lovers on their stars must wait.—Only tell her that I love!Why, O why should I despair!  Mercy’s pictured in her eye:If she once vouchsafe to hear,Welcome Hope and farewell Fear!  She’s too good to let me die.—Why, O why should I despair?
