The due of honor in no point omit.

Through tattered clothes great vices do appear; Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold and the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks. Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw does pierce it.

Thieves for their robbery have authority When judges steal themselves.

We, ignorant of ourselves, Beg often our own harms, which the wise powers Deny us for our good; so find we profit By losing of our prayers.

Highly fed and lowly taught.

Take pains. Be perfect.

Women are as roses, whose fair flower, being once displayed, doth fall that very hour.
