Emblem. 98.

Prov. 30. 3

Contentionis fructus.

The same in English.

The charned milke doth butter bring,
From strifefull men so wrath doth spring,
Where wordes doe rule, strife can not cease,
As fire with wood doth straite encrease,
As waters opened enlarge the breath,
So fightings follow oft shrewd speach.
