Thou weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath.
Thou weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath.
O Lord, Thou givest us everything, At the price Of an effort.
Think not thou art revenged of thine enemy when thou slayest him thou puttest him beyond thy reach, thou givest him quiet, and takest from thyself all means of hurting him.
I think thou dost;
And for I know thou'rt full of love and honesty
And weigh'st thy words before thou givest them breath,
Therefore these stops of thine fright me the more;
For such things in a false disloyal knave
Are tricks of custom; but in a man that's just
They're close dilations, working from the heart,
That passion cannot rule.
