Thomas Lodge

Will you have all for your own tooth?

Your day owl...hath brought such a lot of wondering birds about your ears, as...will chatter you out of your ivy bush.

Who hath not heard that the lion is known by his claws?

The covetous man is good to no man, and worst to himself.

Least he longs that little seeth.

A good man is never less alone than when alone, as Themistocles said.

Words are like to arrows, which are easily shot out, but hardly got in again.

Yea, when the Grecian Calends come (quoth I).

Buy cheap, sell dear.

Pluck the fruit and taste the pleasure, Youthful lordings, of delight; Whilst occasion gives you seizure, Feed your fancies and your sight: After death, when you are gone, Joy and pleasure is there none.

The earth, late choked with showers, Is how arrayed in green; Her bosom springs with flowers, The air dissolves her teen.
