But in proverbe I have herde say,
More quotes by John Gower
He that well his warke beginneth
The rather a good ende he winneth.
A king may spille, a king may save;
A king may make of lorde a knave;
And of a knave a lorde also.
The beauté faye upon her face
Non erthly thing it may desface.
He hath the sor which no man heleth,
The which is cleped lack of herte.
