Francis Quarles Ears Quotations

The average person's ear weighs what you are, not what you were.

What well-advised ear regards What earth can say? Thy words are gold, but thy rewards Are painted clay.

I here present thee with a hive of bees, laden some with wax, and some with honey. Fear not to approach! there are no wasps, there are no hornets here. If some wanton bee chance to buzz about thine ears, stand thy ground and hold thy hands-there's none will sting thee, if thou strike not first. If any do, she hath honey in her bag will cure thee too.

Toyish airs please trivial ears.
