    Nay, do not think I flatter.
    For what advancement may I hope from thee,
    That no revenue hast but thy good spirits
    To feed and clothe thee? Why should the poor be flattered?
    No, let the candied tongue like absurd pomp,
    And crook the pregnant hinges of the knee
    Where thrift may follow fawning.

That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man,
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

Mine eyes
Were not in fault, for she was beautiful;
Mine ears, that heard her flattery; nor my heart,
That thought her like her seeming. It had been vicious
To have mistrusted her.
