When
death puts out our flame, the snuff will tell, if we were wax, or
tallow by the smell.
当死神扑灭我们的生命之焰时,凭气息即能分辨我们是蜂蜡还是牛脂。
The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise.
最差的车轮噪声最大。
Great talkers should be cropt, for they,ve no need
of ears.
高谈阔论者应将其耳朵去掉,因为它们用不着它们。
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut
afterwards.
婚前睁大眼,婚后闭半边。
