Art thou a magistrate? then be severe:
If studious, copy fair what time hath blurr'd,
Redeem truth from his jaws: if a soldier,
Chase brave employments with a naked sword
Throughout the world. Fool not, for all may have
If they dare try, a glorious life, or grave.
He that marries late, marries ill.
He that marries late, marries ill.
Prayers and provender hinder no journey.
Prayers and provender hinder no journey.
He quits his place well, that leaves his friend there.
He quits his place well, that leaves his friend there.
He that lives well sees a farre off.
He that lives well sees a farre off.
