Though to itself, it only live and die,
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity.

That heaven had made her such a man; she thank'd me,
And bade me, if I had a friend that loved her,
I should but teach him how to tell my story,
And that would woo her.

their cloaks;
When great leaves fall, then winter is at hand;
When the sun sets, who doth not look for night?
