Who goeth a borrowing. Goeth a sorrowing.
For the first fourteen years for a rod they do while for the next as a pearl in the world they do shine. For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve. For the next matrons or drudges they serve. For the next doth crave a staff for a stay. For the next a bier to fetch them away.
Look ere thou leap, see ere thou go.
Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.
A fool and his money be soon at debate
At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.
