Forty or fifty, when most women only begin to be wicked
Fruits and pies and sweetmeats for the little ones at home Germans are ever proud of a man who is able to drink deep Happiness should be found in making others happy Have never been fain to set my heart on one only maid Her eyes were like open windows Hopeful soul clings to delay as the harbinger of deliverance Last Day we shall be called to account for every word we utter Laugh at him with friendly mockery, such as hurts no man Love which is able and ready to endure all things Maid who gives hope to a suitor though she has no mind to hear Marred their best joy in life by over-hasty ire May they avoid the rocks on which I have bruised my feet Men folks thought more about me than I deemed convenient Misfortunes never come singly No man gains profit by any experience other than his own No false comfort, no cloaking of the truth On with a new love when he had left the third bridge behind him One Head, instead of three, ruled the Church One who stood in the sun must need cast a shadow on other folks One of those women who will not bear to be withstood Shadow which must ever fall where there is light The god Amor is the best schoolmaster The not over-strong thread of my good patience They who will, can Though thou lose all thou deemest thy happiness Vagabond knaves had already been put to the torture We each and all are waiting Were we not one and all born fools When men-children deem maids to be weak and unfit for true sport |
