... and yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together now-a-days...

Love and reason keep little company together

The will of man is by his reason swayed.

Were such things here as we do speak about?
Or have we eaten on the insane root
That takes the reason prisoner?

Lovers and madmen have such seething brains
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.

The insane rootThat takes the reason prisoner.
