“Looks and words may be, and oftentimes are, false witnesses.”
Thomas Hoby
tags: looks, love

“There be also many wicked men that have the comeliness of a beautiful countenance, and it seemeth that nature hath so shaped them because they may be the readier to deceive, and that this amiable look were like a bait that covereth the hook.”
Thomas Hoby, The Book of the Courtier

“I may tell you it is not a small token that a woman loveth when she giveth unto her lover her beauty, which is so precious a matter; and by the ways that be a passage to the soul (that is to say, the sight and the hearing) sendeth the looks of her eyes, the image of her countenance, and the voice of her words, that pierce into the lover's heart and give a witness of her love.”
Thomas Hoby, The Book of the Courtier
