For by his face straight shall you know his heart.
Like a barber's chair that fits all buttocks.
Farewell! a long farewell to all my greatness!
Welcome ever smiles, and farewell goes out sighing.

Now the melancholy God protect thee, and the tailor make thy garments of changeable taffeta, for thy mind is opal.
Weariness can snore upon the flint when resting sloth finds the down pillow hard.
