Translations. - Three Pairs And One. (From Genestet.)

You have two ears—and but one mouth: Let this, friend, be a token— Much should be heard, and not so much Be spoken. You have two eyes—and but one mouth: That is an indication— Much must you see, but little serves Relation. You have two hands—and but one mouth: Receive the hint you meet with— For labour two, but only one To eat with.
