Love's but the frailty of the mind, When 'tis not with ambition joined A sickly flame, which, if not fed, expires, And feeding, wastes in self-consuming fires. (William Congreve)

Love's but the frailty of the mind, When 'tis not with ambition joined A sickly flame, which, if not fed, expires, And feeding, wastes in self-consuming fires.
