Walter Raleigh
Silence in love betrays more woe - Than words though ne'er so witty A beggar that is dumb, you know, may challenge double pity.
Walter Raleigh
What dependence can I have on the alleged events of ancient history, when I find such difficulty in ascertaining the truth regarding a matter that has taken place only a few minutes ago, and almost in my own presence!
