"A comely olde man as busie as a bee."

“As lyke as one pease is to another.”

“The soft droppes of rain perce the hard marble; many strokes overthrow the tallest oaks.”

“Lette me stande to the maine chance.”

“Rather fast then surfette, rather starue then striue to exceede.”

“He reckoneth without his Hostesse. Love knoweth no lawes.”

“The finest edge is made with the blunt whetstone.”
