James Wood, comp. Dictionary of Quotations. 1899.

Heywood

Content’s a kingdom, and I wear that crown.

Let the world slide, let the world go; / A fig for care, and a fig for woe! / If I can’t pay, why, I can owe, / And death makes equal the high and low.

Rome was not built in one day.

Seven cities warred for Homer being dead, / Who living had no roof to shroud his head.
