BOOK III.

THREE PAIRS AND A SINGLE.

Two ears and one mouth thou hast;
Dost thou of this complain ?-
Thou much must hear, but must
But little tell again.

Two eyes and one mouth thou hast;
Make thine the truth implied :-
Thou many things must see,

In silence many hide.

Two hands and one mouth thou hast;
Learn thou from hence, as meet,—

To labour are the two,

And but the one to eat.
