Faint heart ne'er won fair lady. - [Proverbs] Ah, Foole! faint heart faire lady n'ere could win. - Brittain's Ida (canto V, st. 1) [Wooing] The dying swan, when years her temples pierce, In music-strains breathes out her life and verse, And, chanting her own dirge, tides on her wat'ry hearse. - Purple Island (canto I) [Swans] Beauty when most unclothed is clothed best. - Sicelides (act II, sc. 4) [Apparel] When needs he must, yet faintly then he praises; Somewhat the deed, much more the means he raises: So marreth what he makes, and praising most, dispraises. - The Purple Island (canto VII, st. 67) [Praise]
