- c. 1845-46, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Sonnets from the Portuguese, If Thou Must Love Me:
- […] Do not say
‘I love her for her smile — her look — her way
Of speaking gently, — for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day’ —

Be changed, or change for thee, — and love so wrought,
May be unwrought so. […]
