Thy talke will shew thy fame or els thy shame;
(As pratling tongue doth often purchase blame).
Obtaine a faithfull frend that will not faile thee,
Thinke on thy Mothers paine in her child-bearing,
Make no debate, least quickly thou bewaile thee,
Visit the sicke with comfortable chearing:
Pittie the prisner, helpe the fatherlesse,
Reuenge the Widdowes wrongs in her distresse.
Thinke on thy graue, remember still thy end,
Let not thy winding-sheete be staind with guilt,
