Bot for men sein, and soth it is,
That who that al of wisdom writ
It dulleth ofte a mannes wit
To him that schal it aldai rede,
For thilke cause, if that ye rede,
I wolde go the middel weie
And wryte a bok betwen the tweie,
Somwhat of lust, somewhat of lore.
--
Prologue, line 12.John Gower
And may you better reck the rede,
Than ever did the adviser!Robert Burns
O fol of alle foles,
Thou farst as he betwen tuo stoles
That wolde sitte and goth to grounde.John Gower
The Eclectic Rede: Keep What Works, Fix What's Broke, Dump the Rest.

If there's a hole in a' your coats,
I rede you tent it;
A chield's aman you takin' notes,
And faith he'll prent it.Robert Burns
(Stoop) if you are abcedminded, to this claybook, what curios of signs (please stoop), in this allaphbed! Can you rede (since We and Thou had it out already) its world? It is the same told of all. Many. Miscegenations on miscegenations. Tieckle.
