Much ado there was, God wot;
More quotes by Nicholas Breton
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.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
