“Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his ACT.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar:
The friends thou hast, and their adoption TRIED,
Grapple them to THY SOUL with hooks of STEEL;
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in,
Bear it that the opposer may BEWARE of thee.
Give every man thine EAR, but few thy VOICE;
