Томас Эркарт (Thomas Urquhart)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Epigrams. The Third Booke. № 3. We ought always to thinke upon what we are to say, before we utter any thing; the speeches and talk of solid wits, being still pre∣meditated, and never using to forerunne the mind


OUr tongu's the hearts interpreter, and still
In wise discourse hath but the second place
The heart should end, ere th'tongue begin; for while
The Legate speakes, the Truch-man holdes his peace.
Which order being inverted, we abuse
The hearers patience: and our selves confuse.
