[A slow soft Tongue betokens Modestie]
A slow soft Tongue betokens Modestie,But, quicke and loud signe's of Inconstancy:
Words, more then swords, the inward Heart doe wound,
And glib'd tongue'd Women seldome chaste are found.
Much tongue in Wiues is bad, in Maides farre worse,
A long tonqu'd Maide is right the Diuels dry Nurse:
He roares aloud, shee scoldeth shrill like bell;
Both worse than Fiends, both fit to liue in Hell.
