Nay, but weigh well what you presume to swear!
Oaths are of dreadful Weight—and, if they're false,
Draw down Damnation.

Sir Thomas Overbury (1724)

When Anger rushes, unrestrain'd, to Action,
Like a hot Steed, it stumbles in its way!
The Man of Thought wounds deepest, and strikes safely.

Sir Thomas Overbury (1724)
