He knows what it's like to strut and fret his hour upon the stage and then be heard no more.

I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream.

If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him.

Gently to hear, kindly to judge.

Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak.

Hereafter, in a better world than this, I shall desire more love and knowledge of you

Short time seems long in sorrow's sharp sustaining.
