11

Thou hast in publicke lived long,

And, over freely us'd thy tongue;

But, if thy safety thou desire,

Be silent, and, thy selfe retire.

And, if thou wilt not be undone,

Possesse thy joyes, and hopes, alone:

For, they, that will from harmes be free,

Must silent, and obscured, bee.

See, [Emb. XI.]
