In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" (Act 1, Scene 1) the phrase is part of Romeo's rhyming lines about love (Why, such is love's transgression):
Why, such is love's transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it pressed
With more of thine. This love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;
Being vexed, a sea nourished with loving tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet
Which means that love can bring madness; it is a sweetness that sometimes brings pain.
