What will not woman, gentle woman dare,
When strong affection stirs her spirit up?

What wilt not woman, gentle woman, dare
When strong affection stirs her spirit up?

Madoc in Wales (1805)

Three things a wise man will not trust,
The wind, the sunshine of an April day,
And woman's plighted faith.

What are little girls made of?
Sugar and spice
And all things nice.
That's what little girls are made of.
