Som thingis that prouoke young men to wed in haste, Show after weddyng, that hast maketh waste.
All a green willow, willow, All a green willow is my garland.
Beaten with his owne rod.
Beware of, Had I wist.
The loss of wealth is loss of dirt, As sages in all times assert; The happy man's without a shirt.
And ones their hastie heate a littell controlde, Than perceiue they well, hotte love soone colde. And whan hasty witlesse mirth is mated weele, Good to be mery and wise, they thinke and feele.
