1 Make not thy boast of to morowe: for thou knowest not what a day may bring foorth. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.
2 Let another man prayse thee, and not thyne owne mouth, yea other folkes, and not thyne owne lippes. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. Let someone else praise you, and not your own mouth; an outsider, and not your own lips.
3 The stone is heauie, and the sande wayghtie: but a fooles wrath is heauier then them both. A stone is heavy, and sand is weighty, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both. Stone is heavy and sand a burden, but a fool’s provocation is heavier than both.
4 Wrath is a cruell thing, and furiousnesse is a very tempest: but who is able to abide enuie? Wrath is cruel, anger is overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy? Anger is cruel and fury overwhelming, but who can stand before jealousy?
5 Open rebuke, is better then secrete loue. Better is open rebuke than hidden love. Better is open rebuke than hidden love.
6 Faythfull are the woundes of a louer: but the kysses of an enemie are cruell. Faithful are the wounds of a friend; profuse are the kisses of an enemy. Wounds from a friend can be trusted, but an enemy multiplies kisses.
