Shakespeare in Love
The Love Poetry of William Shakespeare

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;
Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears;
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choky gall, and a preserving sweet.

Romeo and Juliet (I.i)
