“Forbid Us Something and That Thing we Desire”

“Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained”

“Then you compared a woman's love to Hell, To barren land where water will not dwell, And you compared it to a quenchless fire, The more it burns the more is its desire To burn up everything that burnt can be. You say that just as worms destroy a tree A wife destroys her husband and contrives, As husbands know, the ruin of their lives. ”

“And if love is, what thing and which is he? If love be good, from whennes cometh my woo?”

“For if a priest be foul, on whom we trust, No wonder is a common man should rust" -The Prologue of Chaucers Canterbury Tales-”

“If no love is, O God, what fele I so? And if love is, what thing and which is he? If love be good, from whennes cometh my woo? If it be wikke, a wonder thynketh me”

“And once he had got really drunk on wine,Then he would speak no language but Latin.”
