Peace, and be wise; no gods love idle speech.


PLEXIPPUS.

Nor any man a man's mouth woman-tongued.


MELEAGER.

For my lips bite not sharper than mine hands.


PLEXIPPUS.

MELEAGER.

Keep thine hands clean; they have time enough to stain.


PLEXIPPUS.

For thine shall rest and wax not red to-day.


MELEAGER.
