Patch grief with proverbs.
William Shakespeare
Go, write it in a martial hand be curst and brief it is no matter how witty, so it be eloquent and fun of invention: taunt him with the licence of ink: if thou thou'st him some thrice, it shall not be amiss and as many lies as will lie in thy shee.
William Shakespeare
Prepare for mirth, for mirth becomes a feast.
William Shakespeare
Hear my soul speak. Of the very instant that I saw you, did my heart fly at your service
