Therefore thou art of Adam’s blood,

Of words beware lest thou be wode.[[191]]

A short word is commonly sooth,

That first slides from a man’s tooth.

Look liar that thou never become:

Keep this word for all and some.

Laugh not too oft for no soláce,

Never for mirth that any man has.[[192]]

Who laughs that all men may him see,

A shrew[[193]] or a fool him seems to be.
