When all birds else do of their music fail,
Money's the still-sweet-singing nightingale!

The mellow touch of music most doth wound
The soul, when it doth rather sigh, than sound.

In prayer the lips ne'er act the winning part
Without the sweet concurrence of the heart.

He's lord of thy life, who contemns his own.

Man knows where first he ships himself; but he
Never can tell where shall his landing be.

WlT PUNISHED PROSPERS MOST
Dread not the shackles; on with thine intent,
Good wits get more fame by their punishment.

When words we want, Love teacheth to indite;
And what we blush to speak, she bids us write.

The Present Time Best Pleaseth
Praise, they that will, times past: I joy to see
Myself now live; this age best pleaseth me!

To Live Freely
Let's live in haste; use pleasures while we may;
Could life return, 'twould never lose a day.
