Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but, being in, 36-i. 3. Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice: g Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy: Neither a borrower, nor a lender be: And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.h 634 36-i. 3. 36-i. 3. 36-i. 3.

Reason, my son Should choose himself a wife; but as good reason, The father (all whose joy is nothing else But fair posterity) should hold some counsel 636 Beauty transient. Women are as roses; whose fair flower, 13-iv..3. Being once display'd, doth fall that very hour. 637 4-ii. 4. The danger of dalliance. Do not give dalliance Too much the rein: the strongest oaths are straw To the fire i' the blood. 1-iv. 1. 8 Opinion. h Economy, thriftiness. 638 Chastity. The heavens hold firm The walls of thy dear honour; keep unshaked 31-ii. 1. Beware of them, Diana; their promises, enticements, oaths, tokens, and all these engines of lust, are not the things they go under: many a maid hath been seduced by them; and the misery is, example, that so terrible shews in the wreck of maidenhood, cannot for all that dissuade succession, but they are limed with the twigs that threaten them. I hope, I need not to advise you farther; but, I hope, your own grace will keep you where you are, though there were no farther danger known, but the modesty which is so lost. 11-iii. 5. When the blood burns, how prodigal the soul Be somewhat scanter of your maiden presence; 36-i. 4. Do not believe his vows: for they are brokers The chariest maid is prodigal enough, 36-i. 4. iThey are not the things for which their names would make them k Favours, objects of entreaty. Too oft before their buttons be disclosed; 643 The same, 36-i. 3. Weigh what loss your honour may sustain, Fear it, fear it, And keep you in the rear of your affection, Do not, as some ungracious pastors do, 36-i. 3. Shew me the steep and thorny way to heaven; 645 Beauty heightened by goodness. 36-i. 3. The hand, that hath made you fair, hath made you good: the goodness, that is cheap in beauty, makes beauty brief in goodness; but grace, being the soul of your complexion, should keep the body of it ever fair. 646 5-iii. 1. Grief alleviated by submission to Heaven. Your part in her you could not keep from death; n Believing. • Listen to. 9 Careless. P Licentious. Regards not his own lessons. O, in this love, you love your child so ill, 647 Conjugal affection needful in wives. 35-iv. 5. Fie, fie, unknit that threat'ning unkind brow; 12-v. 2. Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, 12-v. 2. I am ashamed, that women are so simple When they are bound to serve, love, and obey. 650 The same. My noble father, I do perceive here a divided duty: To you, I am bound for life, and education; 12-v. 2. How to respect you; you are the lord of duty, I am hitherto your daughter: but here's my husband; • Gentle tempers, So much I challenge, that I may profess Due to 651 The venomous effects of jealousy. O beware of jealousy; 37-i. 3. It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock The meat it feeds on. 652 37-iii. 3. Equivocation. But yet, I do not like but yet, it does allay Some monstrous malefactor. 653 Violent delights have short duration. 30-ii. 5. Violent delights have violent ends, And in their triumph die; like fire and powder, Which, as they kiss, consume: the sweetest honey And in the taste confounds the appetite: Therefore, love moderately; long love doth so, 654 Delusion. 35-ii. 5.
