And the Bard had plenty to say about the subject of love - the word appears more than 2,000 times in his collected works!

Of the very instant that I saw you,Did my heart fly at your service." Ferdinand - The Tempest, Act 3, Scene 1"Did my heart love till now?Forswear it, sight!For I ne''er saw true beauty till this night."
