1. The Argument.
2. The Argument.
Without Marriage there is no courage.
The family of the unmarried is lame.
Binde in thy flames.
By the finger, not the tongue.
The Colony is to bee removed elsewhere.
After the wound, in vaine is warning.
The more haste, the worse speed.
For what wee can, wee care not
Presse occasion.
The honour of virginity perisheth in the lasting
No prize if not provok't.
It lights, but leads not.
No play without some pray.
Try ere you trust.
Too much light dimmes the sight.
Cheekes oft painted, are soone tainted.
Fire from Frost.
Passions too high, will speaking lie.
Lovers stray, where there's no way.
They care nor feare, For what they sweare.
There's much danger, to trust a stranger.
Sometimes faire words, wound worse than swords.
Spare for no cost, where nothing's lost
Once sham'd, ever blam'd.
His slave shee lives, to whom she gives.
Most hold such bad, as love to gad.
Merry Suiters, make mad Husbands.
Sorrow treads, where folly leads.
Where vertue tyes, love never dyes.
Children in law, breed may a flaw.
To have thy will, be humble still.
