Love is Love, Sir Edward Dyer

The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall,
The fly her spleen, the little sparks their heat;
The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small
And bees have stings, although they be not great;
Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs,
And love is love, in beggars as in kings.

Where rivers smoothest flow, deep are the fords,
The sundial stirs, yet none perceive it move,
The firmest faith is in the fewest words
The turtles cannot sing, and yet they love;
True hearts have eyes and ears, no tongues to speak,
They see, they hear, they sigh, and then they break.
