He, who the rules of temperance neglects,
From a good cause may produce vile effects.

He is a fool who thinks by force or skill
To turn the current of a woman's will.

The Adventures of Five Hours (1663)

He ought not to pretend to friendship's name,
Who reckons not himself and friend the same.

The Adventures of Five Hours (1663)

Friendship's an empty name, made to deceive
Those whose good nature tempts them to believe:
There's no such thing on earth; the best that we
Can hope for here is faint neutrality.

The Adventures of Five Hours (1663)

For 'tis not where we lie, but whence we fell;
The loss of heaven's the greatest pain in hell.

The Adventures of Five Hours (1663)

A fop? In this brave, licentious age
To bring his musty morals on the stage?
Rhime us to reason? and our lives redress
In metre, as Druids did the savages.
