090 And do a wilful stillness entertain,

With purpose to be dress’d in an opinion

Of wisdom, gravity, profound conceit;

[093] As who should say, ‘I am Sir Oracle,

And, when I ope my lips, let no dog bark!’

[095] O my Antonio, I do know of these,

That therefore only are reputed wise

[097] For saying nothing; when, I am very sure,

[098] If they should speak, would almost damn those ears,

Which, hearing them, would call their brothers fools.
