This moral men may have in mind;
Ye hearers, take it of worth, old and young,
And forsake Pride, for he deceiveth you in the end;
And remember Beauty, Five Wits, Strength, and Discretion,
They all at the last do every man forsake
Save his Good Deeds there doth he take.
– Anon. Everyman (c. 1515; written late fifteenth century)I shall, for your comfort, declare such a story
As shall perfectly plant in your memory.
– John Heywood, A Play of Love (1534), B3rIn silence and oblivion you shall see

And can do miracles even from the dead,
To raise true worth by time canonised.
– Robert Anton, The Philosophers Satyrs (1616), G3vParrat protests ‘tis he, and only he
Can teach a man the art of memory.
Believe him not; for he forgot it quite,
Being drunk, who ‘twas that caned his ribs last night.
