Were there no heaven nor hell I should be honest.

The chiefest action for a man of great spirit is never to be out of action... the soul was never put into the body to stand still.

Whether we fall by ambition, blood, or lust, like diamonds we are cut with our own dust.

All things do help the unhappy man to fall.

Do you not weep? Other sins only speak; murder shrieks out. The element of water moistens the earth, But blood flies upwards and bedews the heavens.

Glories, like glow-worms, afar off shine bright, But looked to near, have neither heat nor light.

I have long served virtue, And never ta'en wages of her.
