Usura slayeth the child in the womb It stayeth the young man's courting It hath brought palsey to bed, lyeth between the young bride and her bridegroom
I courted fame but as a spur to brave and honest deeds; who despises fame will soon renounce the virtues that deserve it.
They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
