One's beautiful teeth are white as pearl buttons.

lunatic ravings

Extraordinary

be implicated in trouble

Hardship of travel without shelter

Change one's tack with the wind

with coiled roots and gnarled branches--complicated and difficult to deal with

The lovers give presents to each other.

Too dark

even balance and full measures

Worried and unhappy

be full of vim and vigour

find quarrel in a straw

with awe and respect

in one's leisure hours

Manipulate

act on impulse(act recklessly without superstitious fear)

New clothes and delicious food -- extravagant living

be left undiscussed

play the finger-guessing game at a wine party
