Sawes Quotes

For he owre englishe gilte with his sawes, Rude and boistous firste be olde dawes, That was ful fer from al perfeccioun And but of litel reputacioun Til that he cam, and thorugh his poetrie, Gan oure tonge firste to magnifie And adourne it with his eloquence: To whom honour, laude and reuerence.

John Lydgate

Even as a surgeon, minding off to cutSome cureless limb,—before in ure he putHis violent engins on the vicious member,Bringeth his patient in a senseless slumber,And grief-less then (guided by use and art),To save the whole, sawes off th' infested part.
