For, as I suppose, no man in this world hath lived better than I have done, to achieve that I have done.
Thomas MaloryNowadays men cannot love seven night but they must have all their desires: that love may not endure by reason; for where they be soon accorded and hasty, heat soon it cooleth. Right so fareth love nowadays, soon hot soon cold: this is no stability. But the old love was not so.
Thomas Malory
