Thomas Tusser

"A fool and his money are soon parted. "

"For the first fourteen years for a rod they do whine, For the next as a pearl in the world they do shine, For the next trim beauty beginneth to swerve, For the next matrons or drudges they serve, For the next doth crave a staff for a stay, For the next a bier to fetch them away. "

"Make hunger thy sauce, as a medicine for health. "
