Haste.

Oft times the greatest haste the worser speeds. S. I. Harr. Transl.

As busie braines must beat on tickle toyes, As rash inuention breeds a raw deuice: So suddein falles do hinder hastie ioyes, And as swift baits do fleetest fish intice, So haste makes waste, and therefore now I say, No haste but good, where wisedome beares the sway. G. Gascoigne.

The swiftest bitch brings forth the blindest whelpes, The hottest feuers coldest crampes ensue. The nakedst need, hath ouer-latest helpes. Idem.

O rash false heat wrapt in repentance cold, Thy haste springs still blood, and nere growes old. W. Sh.
