There's no workman, whatsoever he be, That may both work well and hastily

Ther n' is no werkman whatever he be, That may both werken wel and hastily. This wol be done at leisure parfitly.

There's no workman, whatsoever he be, That may both work well and hastily.

Forbid us something, and that thing we desire.

Time and tide wait for no man.
