Through perils both of wind and limb,Through thick and thin she follow'd him.
— Constancy
Through perils both of wind and limb,Through thick and thin she follow'd him.
Changeless march the stars above,Changeless watch the changeless heaven.
Now from head to footNo planet is of mine.
O constancy, be strong upon my side,I have a man's mind, but a woman's might.
I could be well moved if I were as you;There is no fellow in the firmament.
He that parts us shall bring a brand from heaven,And fire us hence like foxes.
Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more, To one thing constant never.
If ever thou shalt love,That is belov'd.
I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything and their intent everywhere; for that's it that always makes a good voyage of nothing.
O heaven! were manInconstancy falls off ere it begins.
Through thick and thin, both over banck and bush,In hope her to attaine by hooke or crooke.
'Tis often constancy to change the mind.
Abra was ready ere I call'd her name;And, though I call'd another, Abra came.
Out upon it! I have lov'd If it prove fair weather.
