Great short quotesGreat short quotes and quotations

When I was one-and-twenty,
I heard a wise man say,
Give pounds and crowns and guineas,
But not your heart away.”

Give pearls away and rubies,
But keep your fancy free.”
But I was one-and-twenty,
No use to talk to me.

Great short quote and quotation by: A.E. Houseman ,

crowns, fancy, guineas, heard, heart, pearls, pounds, rubies, twenty
