Maxioms by Samuel Butler
If he that in the field is slain
Be in the bed of honour lain,
He that read more
If he that in the field is slain
Be in the bed of honour lain,
He that is beaten may be said
To lie in Honour's truckle-bed.
H' had got a hurt
O' th' inside of a deadlier sort.
H' had got a hurt
O' th' inside of a deadlier sort.
Cry out upon the stars for doing
Ill offices, to cross their wooing.
Cry out upon the stars for doing
Ill offices, to cross their wooing.
As you sow y' are like to reap.
As you sow y' are like to reap.
And bid the devil take the hin'most.
And bid the devil take the hin'most.
