Careful Words

sore (n.)

sore (adj.)

Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!

Macbeth does murder sleep!" the innocent sleep,

Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care,

The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,

Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,

Chief nourisher in life's feast.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616): Macbeth. Act ii. Sc. 2.

The wise man sayth, store is no sore.

John Heywood (Circa 1565): Proverbes. Part i. Chap. v.

  You cannot eat your cake and have your cake; and store's no sore.

Miguel De Cervantes (1547-1616): Don Quixote. Part ii. Chap. xliii.
