God sendeth and giveth both mouth and the meat.
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.
Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.
As order is heavenly, where quiet is had, so error is hell, or a mischief as bad.
Look ere thou leap, see ere thou go.
At Christmas play and make good cheer, for Christmas comes but once a year.
