    As Love and I late harbour'd in one inn,
    With proverbs thus each other entertain;
    "In love there is no lack," thus I begin;
    "Fair words make fools," replieth he again;
    "Who spares to speak doth spare to speed," quoth I;
    "As well," saith he, "too forward as too slow";
    "Fortune assists the boldest," I reply;
    "A hasty man," quote he, "ne'er wanted woe";
    "Labour is light where love," quote I, "doth pay";
    "Light burden's heavy, if far borne";
    Quoth I, "The main lost, cast the by away";
    "Y'have spun a fair thread," he replies in scorn.
    And having thus awhile each other thwarted
    Fools as we met, so fools again we parted.

Men at some time are masters of their fates.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not is our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.
