The devil was sick, the devil a monk would be; The devil was well, the devil a monk was he.
Here is a rare rogue for you, said Eusthenes; here is a pure rogue, a rogue in grain, a rogue enough, a rogue and a half. He is resolved to make good the Lombardic proverb, Passato el pericolo, gabbato el santo.
The devil was sick, the devil a monk would be;
The devil was well, the devil a monk was he.
