"A good old man, sir. He will be talking. As they say, when the age is in, the wit is out."

"He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks."

For there was never yet philosopher
That could endure the toothache patiently.

Done to death by slanderous tongues.
