Maxioms by Francis Beaumont And John Fletcher
No better than you should be.
No better than you should be.

My books, the best companions, is to me

Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.
Beggars must be no choosers.
Beggars must be no choosers.
Death hath so many doors to let out life.
Death hath so many doors to let out life.
'Tis a word that's quickly spoken,
Which being unrestrained, a heart is broken.
'Tis a word that's quickly spoken,
Which being unrestrained, a heart is broken.
