“The worth that worthiness should move
Is love, that is the bow of Love.
And love as well the foster can
As can the mighty nobleman.
Sweet saint, ‘tis true you worthy be,
Yet without love nought worth to me.”
—Fulke Greville (1554–1628)

As now is but the setting out on a new but still
Undefined way.”
