Ful weel she soong the service dyvyne,
Entuned in hir nose ful semely,
And Frenssh she spak ful faire and fetisly,
After the scole of Stratford atte Bowe,
For Frenssh of Parys was to hire unknowe.

Nose, nose, jolly red nose,
And who gave thee that jolly red nose?
Nutmegs and ginger, cinammon and cloves;
And they gave me this jolly red nose.Francis Beaumont
His complexion exceeding faire – he was so faire that they called him the Lady of Christ's College.
John Aubrey
Il n'est pas si dangereux de faire du mal ? la plupart des hommes que de leur faire trop de bien.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
For if hevene be on this erthe, and ese to any soule,
It is in cloistre or in scole.William Langland
O yonge fresshe folkes, he or she,
In which that love up-groweth with your age,
Repeyreth hoom fro worldly vanitee,
And of your herte up-casteth the visage
To thilke God that after his image
Yow made, and thynketh al nis but a faire
This world, that passeth sone as floures faire.Geoffrey Chaucer
