Over great familiarity genders despight. Of ill Debtois men takes Oattes. Over jolly dow not. Oft counting makes good friends. Of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Over narrow counting culzies no kindnesse. Out of sight, out of langer. Put twa half-pennies in a purse, and they will draw together. Put not your hand betwixt the rind and the Tree. Pith is good in all Playes.

"I remain, "Your loving and much-grieved Cousin, "URANIA BELAMOUR." Poor Major! His horror, perplexity, and despair were indescribable.

His bases outlayde with armes and legges which the skirts of that mountain left vncouered.

And then I hauing it in my hand, the gunner came to me, and spake these wordes, saying, thou dogge, I wil haue the booke in despight of thee, and tooke it from me, saying: If thou tell the kings treasurer of it any more, by Mahomet I will be reuenged of thee.

'Like fullest moon she shines on happiest night, * Soft sided fair, with slender shape bedight. Her eye-babes charm the world with gramarye; * Her lips remind of rose and ruby light. Her jetty locks make night upon her hips; * Ware, lovers, ware ye of that curl's despight!

Hath planted her banner Good Fortune for us, * And we drink of her cup in the purest delight.
