Our love was new, and then but in the spring, When I was wont to greet it with my lays, As Philomel in summer's front doth sing And stops her pipe in growth of riper days; Not that the summer is less pleasant now Than when her mournful hymns did hush the night, But that wild music burdens every bough, And sweets grown common lose their dear delight. (Quote by - William Shakespeare)
