Perficiendi sive absolvendi.
You can't do, but you must over-do.
You are a right Englishmā
You cannot tell when a thing is well.
Doe and undoe, the day is long enough.
Every thing has an end, & a pudding two.
Raise no more spirits than you can conjure down.
Better never to begin, than never to make an end.
Better is the last smile, than the first laughter.
You have spun a faire thread.
Earely up & ne're the neare.
A man every inch of him.

Nodum solvere.
Manum de tabulâ.
Tenedia bipennis.
Penelopes telam agere.
Supremum fabulae actum agere.
Toto devorato bove, in cauda deficit.
Hic telam texuit, ille di∣duxit.
Filum nevisti, & acu opus est.
Nihil potest nec addi nec adimi.
Quadratus homo.
