4A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but shee that liueth dishonestly, is her fathers heauinesse. 5Shee that is bold, dishonoureth both her father and her husband, but they both shall despise her. 6A tale out of season [is as] musick in mourning: but stripes and correction of wisedome are neuer out of time. 7Who so teacheth a foole, is as one that gleweth a potsheard together, and as hee that waketh one from a sound sleepe. 8Hee that telleth a tale to a foole, speaketh to one in a slumber: when hee hath told his tale, he will say, What is the matter?
