All for Love

By: Lord Byron
O talk not to me of a name great in story;
The days of our youth are the days of our glory;
And the myrtle and ivy of sweet two-and-twenty
Are worth all your laurels, though ever so plenty.
What are garlands and crowns to the brow that is wrinkled?
‗Tis but as a dead flower with May-dew besprinkled:
Then away with all such from the head that is hoary—
What care I for the wreaths that can only give glory?
O Fame! if I e‘er took delight in thy praises,
‗Twas less for the sake of thy high-sounding phrases,
Than to see the bright eyes of the dear one discover
She thought that I was not unworthy to love her.
There chiefly I sought thee, there only I found thee;
Her glance was the best of the rays that surround thee;
When it sparkled o‘er aught that was bright in my story,
I knew it was love, and I felt it was glory.

When Jane and Elizabeth were alone, the former, who had been cautious in her praise of Mr.
Bingley before, expressed to her sister just how very much she admired him.
―He is just what a young man ought to be,‖ said she, ―sensible, good-humoured, lively; and I
never saw such happy manners!–so much ease, with such perfect good breeding!‖
―He is also handsome,‖ replied Elizabeth, ―which a young man ought likewise to be, if he
possibly can. His character is thereby complete.‖
―I was very much flattered by his asking me to dance a second time. I did not expect such a
compliment.‖
―Did not you? I did for you. But that is one great difference between us. Compliments always
take you by surprise, and me never. What could be more natural than his asking you again? He
could not help seeing that you were about five times as pretty as every other woman in the
room. No thanks to his gallantry for that. Well, he certainly is very agreeable, and I give you
leave to like him. You have liked many a stupider person.‖
―Dear Lizzy!‖
―Oh! you are a great deal too apt, you know, to like people in general. You never see a fault in
anybody. All the world are good and agreeable in your eyes. I never heard you speak ill of a
human being in your life.‖
―I would not wish to be hasty in censuring anyone; but I always speak what I think.‖
―I know you do; and it is that which makes the wonder. With yourgood sense, to be so honestly
blind to the follies and nonsense of others! Affectation of candour is common enough–one
meets with it everywhere. But to be candid without ostentation or design–to take the good of
everybody‘s character and make it still better, and say nothing of the bad–belongs to you alone.
And so you like this man‘s sisters, too, do you? Their manners are not equal to his.‖
―Certainly not–at first. But they are very pleasing women when you converse with them. Miss
Bingley is to live with her brother, and keep his house; and I am much mistaken if we shall not
find a very charming neighbour in her.‖
Elizabeth listened in silence, but was not convinced; their behaviour at the assembly had not
been calculated to please in general; and with more quickness of observation and less pliancy
of temper than her sister, and with a judgement too unassailed by any attention to herself, she
was very little disposed to approve them. They were in fact very fine ladies; not deficient in good
humour when they were pleased, nor in the power of making themselves agreeable when they
chose it, but proud and conceited. They were rather handsome, had been educated in one of
the first private seminaries in town, had a fortune of twenty thousand pounds, were in the habit
of spending more than they ought, and of associating with people of rank, and were therefore in
every respect entitled to think well of themselves, and meanly of others. They were of a
respectable family in the north of England; a circumstance more deeply impressed on their
memories than that their brother‘s fortune and their own had been acquired by trade.
