Gift better than Himself God doth not know, Gift better than God no man can see; This gift doth here the giver given bestow Gift to this gift let each receiver be; God is my gift, Himself He freely gave me, God's gift am I, and none but God shall have me.
When Fortune smiles, I smile to think how quickly she will frown.
Hoist up sail while gale doth last, Tide and wind stay no man's pleasure.
