Strange Histories, or, Songes and Sonets, of Kings, Princes, Dukes, Lordes, Ladyes, Knights, and Gentlemen Very pleasant either to be read or songe: and a most excellent warning for all estates [by Thomas Deloney] |
[A word once spoke, it can returne no more] |
Strange Histories, or, Songes and Sonets, of Kings, Princes, Dukes, Lordes, Ladyes, Knights, and Gentlemen | ||
[A word once spoke, it can returne no more]
A word once spoke, it can returne no more,But flieth away, and oft thy bayle doth breed:
A wise man then, sets hatch before the dore,
And whilst he may, doth square his speech wt heed:
The Bird in hand, we may at will restraine,
But being flowne, we call her backe in vaine.
