Whan the sunne shinth make hay, whiche is to say,
Take time whan time comth, lest time steale away.John Heywood
Dr. Kettle was wont to say that Seneca writes as a Boare does pisse, scilicet by jirkes.
John Aubrey
But now in the last two weeks of his stray year the little dog had added a house on another road to his nightly rounds. A house where two old people lived with a toothless, rheumatic old hound. The hound was too toothless to gnaw his bones, too old and weary with life to bury his bones. But still the old hound obeyed his dog instincts and shoved his bones under an old burlap bag against the wall of a shed where he lay during the day sunning his rheumatic joints. And the little dog knew.
Meindert DeJong
Any hound a porcupine nudges
Can't be blamed for harboring grudges.
I know one hound that laughed all winter
At a porcupine that sat on a splinter.Ogden Nash
He that will not whan he may,
Whan he would, he shall haue nay.John Heywood
