1 As the snowe in the sommer, and as the raine in the haruest are not meete, so is honour vnseemely for a foole.

2 As the sparowe by flying, and the swallow by flying escape, so the curse that is causeles, shall not come.

3 Vnto the horse belongeth a whip, to the asse a bridle, and a rod to the fooles backe.

4 Answer not a foole according to his foolishnes, least thou also be like him.

5 Answere a foole according to his foolishnes, least he be wise in his owne conceite.
