Nature without exercise is a seed shut up in a pod, and art without practice is nothing.

Even when I'm railed at, I get my quota of renown.

I am, indeed, a king, because I know how to rule myself.

Why should I be ashamed to describe what nature was not ashamed to create?

Perfumed and gallant words make our ears belch.

Nature without exercise is a seed shut up in a pod, and art without practice is nothing.

Telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.
