More quotes by Nicholas Breton

To rise with the lark, and go to bed with the lamb.

When little children first are brought to schoole
A Horne-booke is a necessarie toole.

I wish my deadly foe, no worse
Than want of friends, and empty purse.

Put not thy spirit unto too much paine,
In searching secrets farre above thy skill:
And know a halbert from a hedging bill.

The Mothers Blessing (1602)

Much ado there was, God wot;
He woold love, and she woold not,
She sayd, "Never man was trewe;"
He sayes, "None was false to you."
