With emptie hands men may no haukes lure.
Many a true word is spoken in jest
Mercy surpasses justice.
Filth and old age, I'm sure you will agree, are powerful wardens upon chastity.
Purity in body and heart May please some--as for me, I make no boast. For, as you know, no master of a household Has all of his utensils made of gold; Some are wood, and yet they are of use.
Who then may trust the dice, at Fortune's throw?
