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.
God sendeth and giveth both mouth and the meat.
Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.
As order is heavenly, where quiet is had, so error is hell, or a mischief as bad.
At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.
Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health.
