I reckon silence more profitable than speech, for? in the words of the Preacher, 'The words of wise men are heard in quiet' (Eccles. 9:17).
The nuttes schell, thocht it be hard and teuch,Haldis the kirnill, and is delectabill. Sa lyis thair ane doctrine wyse aneuch,And full of fruit, under ane fenyeit Fabill.
