Esteeme no tatling tales, nor babling words;

That reason is exiled alwaies thinke,

When as a drunkard rayles amidst his drinke.

Vse not thy louely lips to loathsome lyes,

By craftie meanes increase no worldly wealth;

Striue not with mightie Men (whose fortune flies)

With temp'rate diet nourish wholesome health:

Place well thy words, leaue not thy frend for gold;

First trie, then trust; in ventring be not bold.
