lose (n.)
lose (v.)
lose (adv.)
lose (adj.)
Full little knowest thou that hast not tride,
What hell it is in suing long to bide:
To loose good dayes, that might be better spent;
To wast long nights in pensive discontent;
To speed to-day, to be put back to-morrow;
To feed on hope, to pine with feare and sorrow.
. . . . . . . . .
To fret thy soule with crosses and with cares;
To eate thy heart through comfortlesse dispaires;
To fawne, to crowche, to waite, to ride, to ronne,
To spend, to give, to want, to be undonne.
Unhappie wight, borne to desastrous end,
That doth his life in so long tendance spend!
What is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
You have too much respect upon the world:
They lose it that do buy it with much care.
No man can lose what he never had.
Whatever you can lose, you should reckon of no account.
Our doubts are traitors,
And make us lose the good we oft might win
By fearing to attempt.
