3 We ought always to thinke upon what we are to say,
before we utter any thing; the speeches and
talk of solid wits, being still pre∣meditated,
and never using
to forerunne the mind.
OUr tongu's the hearts interpreter, and still
In wise discourse hath but the second place▪
The heart▪ should end, ere th'tongue begin; for while
The Legate speakes, the Truch-man holdes his peace.
Which order being inverted, we abuse
The hearers patience: and our selves confuse.
