[first two lines obliterated]
Richard 3.
True hope is swift, and flyes with swallowes winges
Kinges it makes godes, and meaner creatures kinges./.
You runn before your horse to markett.
foole, foole, thou whetest a knife to kill thie selfe./.
Curses never passe the lippes mouth of them that breath
them in the aire./.
Small herbes haue grace great weedes grow apace.
Soe wise soe young, they say never liue long./.
Short summers likely haue a forward spring./.
Play the maydes part, say noe, and take it./.
Pericles /.
We neither in our hertes nor outward eyes
Envy the greate nor doe the lowe dispise
To me she seemes diamond to glasse./.
he may my proffer take for an offence,
since men take womens guiftes for Impudence./.
