I'll tell you what to do now... just you go each of you... and quietly make three or four friends among us. You'll find a little trouble in getting at the right sort, because such birds don't come lightly to your lure... (Th. Hughes, ‘Tom Brown's School Days’, ch. II) — Я скажу вам, как следует поступить... Каждый из вас... должен обзавестись потихоньку двумя-тремя друзьями среди людей нашего круга. Правда, это будет не так просто. Люди, которые вам нужны, нелегко попадаются на удочку...

...time stoops to no man's lure. (A. C. Swinburne, ‘Poems’, ‘The Garden of Proserpine’) — ...ручным не станет время для людей.
