āThe bitter past, more welcome is the sweet.ā
āGet thee to a nunnery.ā
āWolves and bears, they say, casting their savagery aside, have done like offices of pity.ā
āWhat, no more ceremony? See, my women! Against the blown rose may they stop their nose That kneel'd unto the buds.ā
āI am not bound to please thee with my answer.ā
āAway, you cut-purse rascal! you filthy bung, away! By this wine, I'll thrust my knife in your mouldy chaps, an you play the saucy cuttle with me. Away, you bottle-ale rascal! you basket-hilt stale juggler, you!ā
āMy grief lies onward, and my joy behind.ā
āO! that a man might know The end of this day's business, ere it come; But it sufficeth that the day will end, And then the end is known.ā
āThe day shall not be up so soon as I,To try the fair adventure of tomorrow.ā
