An Englishman, being flattered, is a lamb; threatened, a lion.
Who hath no faith to man, to God hath none.
Black is a pearl in a woman's eye.
As night the life-inclining stars best shows, So lives obscure the starriest souls disclose.
Give me a spirit that on this life's rough sea Loves t'have his sails filled with a lusty wind, Even till his sail-yards tremble, his masts crack, And his ship run on her side so low That she drinks water, and her keel plows air.
I pray, what flowers are these? The pansy this, O, that's for lover's thoughts.
