Robert Greene (dramatist)"He that will not when he may, When he desires shall surely purchase nay."
Robert Greene (1558–1592) was a popular Elizabethan dramatist and pamphleteer. He is said to have been born in Norwich. He attended Cambridge where he received a BA in 1580, and an M.A. in 1583 before moving to London, where he arguably became the first professional author in England. He was prolific and published in many genres including romances, plays and autobiography.

"Fie upon such as say, "Young saints, old devils"! It is no doubt a devilish and damnable saying; for what is not bent in the cradle, will hardly be bowed in the saddle."
"At last he hath leaped at a daisy, with a halter about his neck."
"He kept no Christmas-house for once a year; Each day his boards were filld with lordly fare: He fed a rout of yeomen with his cheer, Nor was his bread and beef kept in with care: His wine and beer to strangers were not spare; And yet beside to all that hunger grievd His gates were ope, and they were there relievd."
"My God commands, whose power no power resists."
