THREE PAIRS AND ONE.

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.
