Similies on the same subiect.
AS wise men scorne not to accept aduise.
So fooles hold counsell not of any price.
As young rash heads without discretion run,
So old mens counsels tell what should be done.
As gentle showers doe cause the earths encrease,
So mild aduise assures the conscience peace.
As treachers treasons prooue against themselues▪
So euill counsell oft turnes on it selfe.
As flowers in their prime haue sweetest sente,
So in distresse counsell best shewes it selfe.
As foes by sleering seeke each others harme,
So friends by councell gaine each others good.
