First Line: If thou hast found an honie-combe
Last Line: Marrow, and manna unto thee.
Subject(s): Honeycombs


If thou hast found an honie-combe,
Eate thou not all, but taste on some:
For if thou eat'st it to excess;
That sweetness turnes to Loathsomness.
Taste it to Temper; then 'twill be
Marrow, and Manna unto thee.
