Time tries the troth in everything.

At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.

What a greater crime. Than loss of time.

In March and in April from morning till night In sowing and seeding good housewives delight.

Fear God, and offend not the Prince nor his laws, and keep thyself out of the magistrate's claws.

Who quick be to borrow and slow be to pay, their credit is naught, go they ever so gay.

Seek home for rest, for home is best.
