V, song) [Love] None but the lark so shrill and clear; Now at heaven's gate she claps her wings, The morn not waking till she sings. - Alexander and Campaspe (act V, sc. 1) [Larks] Children and fooles speake true. - Endymion [Truth] There can no great smoke arise, but there must be some fire. - Euphes and his Emphoebus (p. 153), (Arber's Reprint) [Fire] A penny for your thought. - Euphues [Thought] It is better to poyson hir with the sweet bait of love. - Euphues [Love] Let the falling out of friends be a renewing of affection. - Euphues [Friends] Nothing is more hateful than love. - Euphues [Love] Take heede, Camilla, that seeking al the Woode for a streight sticke, you chuse not at the last a crooked staffe. - Euphues [Matrimony] Thou shalt come out of a warme Sunne into God's blessing. - Euphues [Sun] Things of greatest profit are set forth with least price.
