Maxioms by Francis Beaumont And John Fletcher
Speak boldly, and speak truly, shame the devil.
Speak boldly, and speak truly, shame the devil.
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where read more
That place that does contain
My books, the best companions, is to me
A glorious court, where hourly I converse
With the old sages and philosophers;
And sometimes, for variety, I confer
With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;
Calling their victories, if unjustly got,
Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,
Deface their ill-placed statues.
He comes not in my books.
He comes not in my books.
No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend.
No friend's a friend till [he shall] prove a friend.
Kiss till the cows come home.
Kiss till the cows come home.
