NECESSARY OBSERVATIONS: 22D PRECEPT by THOMAS RANDOLPH

Poet Analysis

First Line: REPROVE NOT IN THEIR WRATH INCENSED MEN
Last Line: NO MAN GIVES PHYSIC IN THE MIDST O' TH' FIT.
Subject(s): ANGER;
Reprove not in their wrath incensed men,
Good counsel comes clean out of season then;
But when his fury is appeas'd and past,
He will conceive his fault, and mend at last.
When he is cool and calm, then utter it:
No man gives physic in the midst o' th' fit.
