Living
Tandem divulganda
From Minerva Britanna (1612)
Living
THE waightie counsels, and affaires of state,
The wiser mannadge, with such cunning skill,
Though long lockt vp, at last abide the fate,
Of common censure, either good or ill:
And greatest secrets, though they hidden lie,
Abroad at last, with swiftest wing they flie.
