Who lookes may leape and save his shins from knocks,
Who looks may leap and save his shins from knocks,<br>
Who tries may trust, else flattring friends shall find,
Who tries may trust, else flatt'ring friends shall find,<br>
He saves the Steed, that keepes him under locks,
He saves the Steed that keeps him under locks,<br>
Who speaks with heed may boldly speake his mind,
Who speaks with heed may boldly speak his mind,<br>
But he whose tongue before his wit doth runne,
But he whose tongue before his wit doth run,<br>
Often speakes too soone, and grieves when he hath done.
Often speaks too soon, and grieves when he hath done.<br>

Who lookes may leape and save his shins from knocks,
Who tries may trust, else flattring friends shall find,
He saves the Steed, that keepes him under locks,
Who speaks with heed may boldly speake his mind,
But he whose tongue before his wit doth runne,
Often speakes too soone, and grieves when he hath done.
