in the Heavens the Rack stand still, The bold winds speechless & the orb below As hush as Death, anon the dreadful

Give thy thoughts no tongue,
nor any unproportioned thought his Act
be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast & their adoption tried,
Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel:
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched; unfledg’d couragecomrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in
Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee;
Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice
Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment
