 Proverbial Conversation :

As Love and I late harbored in one inn,                  With proverbs thus each other entestain :
"In love there is no back': thus I begin :                  ''Fair words make fools,” replieth he again :
"Who spares to speak doth spare to speed,” quoth I :    “As well,” said he, "too forward as too slow” :
''Fortune assists the boldest,” I reply :                    “A hasty man,” quoth he, ''ne'er wanted woe”:
''Labour is light where I love”, quoth I, "doth pay”:           Saith he, "Light burden's heavy, if farborne”:
Quoth I, The main lost. Cast the by away”:           Y' have spun a fair thread”, he replies in scorn.
nd having thus a while each other thwarted        Fools as we met, so fools again we parted.
