Emblem. 31. Silentij commendatio.
Studiosis iunioribus.
The same in English.
Why doth the student sit alone
With hand his mouth eke put vpon,
when he to speake hath skill?
With hand his mouth eke put vpon,
when he to speake hath skill?
This gesture silence doeth declare,
The wiseman oft his wordes doeth spare,
the foole his mouth doeth fill.
The wiseman oft his wordes doeth spare,
the foole his mouth doeth fill.
Let vs then take heede to our toung,
The foole the wise is thought among,
while that his lippes are still.
The foole the wise is thought among,
while that his lippes are still.
