WHO lookes, maye leape: and saue his shinnes from knockes.
He saues the steede, that keepes him vnder lockes.
Who speakes with heede, maye bouldlie speake his minde.
But hee, whose tonge before his witte, doth runne,
Ofte speakes to soone, and greeues when he hath done.
But flies awaie, and ofte thy bale doth breede:
And while he maye, doth square his speeche with heede.
The birde in hande, wee maye at will restraine,
But beinge flowen, wee call her backe in vaine.
leues, ita sunt in lo-
cutione praecipites:
Quia quod leuis con-
scientia concipit, le-
uior protinus lingua
prodit.
