But he that hath missaid, I dare well sayn, He may by no way call his word again. Thing that is said is said, and forth it go’th, 5024 Though him repent, or be he ne’er so loth; He is his thrall, 5025 to whom that he hath said A tale, of which he is now evil apaid. 5026 My son, beware, and be no author new Of tidings, whether they be false or true; 5027 Whereso thou come, amongës high or low, Keep well thy tongue, and think upon the crow.”
