“Win her with gifts, if she respect not words; Dumb jewels often in their silent kind More than quick words do move a woman's mind.”

“Let us sit and mock the good housewife Fortune from her wheel, that her gifts may henceforth be bestowed equally. I would we could do so, for her benefits are mightily misplaced, and the bountiful blind woman doth most mistake in her gifts to women.”
