Thomas Randolph (poet)

Shepherd: Men are more eloquent than women made.Nymph: But women are more powerful to persuade.

— Thomas Randolph (poet)

Think that is just; 'tis not enough to do,Unless thy very thoughts are upright too.

— Thomas Randolph (poet)

First think, and if thy thoughts approve thy will,Then speak, and after, what thou speakest fulfil.

— Thomas Randolph (poet)

Reprove not in their wrath incensed men,He will conceive his fault, and mend at last.
