Norf.

Be aduis'd;

Heat not a Furnace for your foe so hot

That it do sindge your selfe. We may out‑runne

By violent swiftnesse that which we run at;

And lose by ouer‑running: know you not,

The fire that mounts the liquor til't run ore,

In seeming to augment it, wasts it: be aduis'd;

I say againe there is no English Soule

More stronger to direct you then your selfe;

If with the sap of reason you would quench,

Or but allay the fire of passion.
