Beaumont and Fletcher

"Upon my buried body lie lightly, gentle earth."

"But they that are above Have ends in everything."

"Philaster: Oh, but thou dost not know What tis to die. Bellario: Yes, I do know, my lord: Tis Less than to be born, a lasting sleep; A quiet resting from all jealousy A thing we all pursue; I know, besides, Tis but a giving over of a game That must be lost."

"All your better deeds Shall be in water writ, but this in marble."

"It is always good When a man has two irons in the fire."

"Of every noble action the intent Is to give worth reward, vice punishment."

"You are no better than you should be."

"Calamity is mans true touchstone."

"Silken rest Tie all thy cares up!"

"To have been happy, madame, adds to calamity."

"Nature too unkind; That made no medicine for a troubled mind!"

"Then, my good girls, be more than women, wise: At least be more than I was; and be sure You credit anything the light gives life to Before a man."
