Look ere thou leap, see ere thou go.
In March and in April from morning till night In sowing and seeding good housewives delight.
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.
What a greater crime. Than loss of time.
Sweet April showers do spring May flowers.
