ght, good night: parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
_Romeo and Juliet, Act ii. Sc. 2_. SHAKESPEARE.

JULIET.--O, think'st thou we shall ever meet again?
ROMEO.--I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve
For sweet discourses in our time to come.
_Romeo and Juliet, Act iii. Sc. 5_. SHAKESPEARE.

In the hope to meet
Shortly again, and make our absence sweet.
_Underwoods_.. B. JONSON.

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted,
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss:

_When we two parted_. LORD BYRON.

BRUTUS.--Whether we shall meet again I know not.

CASSIUS.--For ever, and for ever, farewell, Brutus!
_Julius Caesar, Act v. Sc. 1_. SHAKESPEARE.

_Essay on Man, Epistle II_. A. POPE.

PAST, THE.

O, call back yesterday, bid time return.

To-day, unhappy day, too late.
_King Richard II., Act iii. Sc. 2_. SHAKESPEARE.
