Страница 55 - Right fit to rend the food on which he fared. His name was Care; a Blacksmith by his trade, That neither day nor night from working spared, But to small purpose yron wedges made; Those be Unquiet Thoughts that carefull minds invade.
Страница 193 - Or weigh the thought that from mans mind doth flow But if the weight of these thou canst not show, Weigh but one word which from thy lips doth fall : For how canst thou those greater secrets know, That doest not know the least thing of them all ? Ill can he rule the great that cannot reach the small.
