What's one man's poison, signior,
Is another's meat or drink.
What's one man's poison, signor,
Is another's meat or drink.
Love's Cure (1612)

At least be more than I was; and be sure
You credit anything the light gives life to
Before a man.
The Maid's Tragedy (1609)
Our lives are but our marches to the grave.
Calamity is man's true touchstone.
Ask how to live? Write, write, write, anything;
The world's a fine believing world, write news.
Nothing can cover his high fame but Heaven:
No pyramids set off his memories
But the eternal substance of his greatness;
To which I leave him.
To bed my Love; Hymen will punish us
For being slack performers of his rites.
Silken rest
Tie all thy cares up!
It would talk,— Lord! how it talked!
The Scornful Lady (1613)
A civil habit
Oft covers a good man.
You are no better than you should be.
Woman, they say, was only made of man:
Methinks ’tis strange they should be so unlike!
It may be all the best was cut away,
To make the woman, and the naught was left
Behind with him.
He went away with a flea in 's ear.

The Scornful Lady (1613)
The devil take the hindmost!
Philaster, or Love Lies a-Bleeding (1609)
Beggars must be no choosers.
The Scornful Lady (1613)
After supper walk a mile.
Philaster, or Love Lies a-Bleeding (1609)
Hit the nail on the head.
Love's Cure (1612)
My dancing days are done.
The Scornful Lady (1613)
