George Seal Poet Rhyme

Bite Your Lip

It's better that you bite your lip,
    Than to speak with words that slander.
    They could defame someones good name,
    So, choose all your words with candour.

    Where loose tongues quickly let words slip,
    Let time itself give you more scouth.
    Such prudence will not go amiss,
    For a fly does not enter a closed mouth.

    Scouth.  Opportunity.
