Who Looks May Leap
Geffrey Whitney, William Byrd
Who looks may leap and save his shins from knocks,
Who tries may trust, else flatt'ring friends shall find:
He saves the Steed, that keeps him under locks:
Who speaks with heed may boldly speak his mind:
But he whose tongue before his wit doth run,
Oft speaks too soon, and grieves when he hath done.
