`You must sit down,' says Love, `and taste my meat.' / So I did sit and eat. |
A civil guest / Will no more talk all, than eat all the feast. |
A dwarf on a giant's shoulders sees farther of the two |
A garden must be looked into, and dressed as the body. |
A gentle heart is tied with an easy thread. |
A great ship asks deep water |
A hundred load of worry will not pay an ounce of debt |
A lean compromise is better than a fat lawsuit. |
A man of great memory without learning hath a rock and a spindle and no staff to spin |
A poor beauty finds more lovers than husbands |
A servant with this clause Makes drudgery divine; Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws Makes that and the action fine |
A tyrant is most tyrant to himself |
A verse may find him who a sermon flies, And turn delight into a sacrifice |
After death the doctor |
At length I heard a ragged noise and mirth/ Of thieves and murderers: there I him espied,/ Who straight, `Your suit is granted,' said, and died. |
