POLICIE CLXXIII. Be not too forward in carrying bad newes.
MAke no pretence and flou∣rish when you have no∣thing of weight, for you raise expectation in others, and you come off with disgrace, if you doe not satisfie, like the picture of a Courser in an hanging, that sits in a riding posture, but goes no farther.
Thus,
When Ahimaaz might carry no newes, Howsoever, sayes he, let me runne, and when hee came to the King, and had nothing to say, turne aside, sayes the King, and stand here.
