LOVE Emotions



Valentine's Day
 by Ophelia in Hamlet (1600–1601):
To-morrow is Saint Valentine's day,


All in the morning betime,

And I a maid at your window,

To be your Valentine.

Then up he rose, and donn'd his clothes,

And dupp'd the chamber-door;

Let in the maid, that out a maid

Never departed more. 
—William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act IV, Scene 5
