Heaven give you many, many merry days.
Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety.
Like madness is the glory of life.
If all the year were playing holidays; To sport would be as tedious as to work.
The evil that men do lives after them; the good is oft interred with their bones.
Do you not know I am a woman? when I think, I must speak.
And oftentimes excusing of a fault doth make the fault the worse by the excuse.
Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.

Love comforteth like sunshine after rain.
Women speak two languages - one of which is verbal.
In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke.
The course of true love never did run smooth.
A tardiness in nature, Which often leaves the history unspoke, That it intends to do.
