Of the senses. 6.
Speake not to muche, lest speeche make the speechelesse,Go not to muche, for feare thou go behynde,
Here not to muche, lest hearyng bring deafnesse.
Looke not to muche, lest lookyng make the blynde.
Smell not to muche, lest smellyng lose his kynde.
Tast not to muche, leste taste mistast thy chaps.
Touche not to muche for feare of after claps.
