The love of pelf increases with the pelf.
Original text (Latin)
Original text (Latin)
Every man's credit is proportioned to the money which he has in his chest.
Their conversation was brief, and their desire was to be silent.
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.
