The longer the life the more the offense, the more the offense the more the pain, the more the pain the less the defense and the less the defense the less the gain.

...Wild to hold, though I seem tame.

Farewell, Love, and all thy laws for ever.

For like to like, the proverb saith.

The longer the life the more the offense, the more the offense the more the pain, the more the pain the less the defense and the less the defense the less the gain.

For as saith a proverb notable, Each thing seeketh his semblable.
