A bully is not reasonable - he is persuaded only by threats.

Now will I rehearse before you a very ancient Breton Lay. As the tale was told to me, so, in turn, will I tell it over again, to the best of my art and knowledge. Hearken now to my story, its why and its reason.

But sweetly and discreetly love passes from person to person, from heart to heart, or it is nothing worth.

The dead and past stories that I have told again in divers fashions, are not set down without authority.

There are divers men who make a great show of loyalty, and pretend to such discretion in the hidden things they hear, that at the end folk come to put faith in them.

He who would tell divers tales must know how to vary the tune.
