Love in my bosom like a bee
Doth suck his sweet.
A good man is never less alone than when alone, as Themistocles said.
The covetous man is good to no man, and worst to himself.
Wherethrough justice is made a nose of wax warmed.
Devils are not so black as they be painted, ... nor women so wayward as they seem.
The smallest hair hath his shadow.
Who hath not heard that the lion is known by his claws?
The smith and the devil hath a dry tooth in his head.
Not worth a horse of thine own this seven year.
Giving me the fico with his thumb in his mouth.
As the cat watcheth the play of the mouse.
Least he longs that little seeth.
Words are like to arrows, which are easily shot out, but hardly got in again.
Love guards the roses of thy lips
And flies about them like a bee.
My shirt is near me, but my skin is nearest.
Yea, when the Grecian Calends come (quoth I).
