VII, l. 1,895)         [Man] For who that noght dar undertake,   Be riht he schal no profit take     [For who that dare not undertake,       By right he shall no profit take.         i.e., Nothing ventured, nothing gained.]       - Confessio Amantis (st. 320),         (for variations on theme, see Chaucer and Heywood)         [Proverbs : Risk] Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
