A _Country-man_ and a _River_.
A _Country-man_ that was to Pass a River Sounded it up and down to try
where it was most Fordable; and upon Tryal he made This Observation on’t:
Where the Water ran Smooth, he found it Deepest; and on the contrary,
Shallowest where it made most Noise.
The MORAL.
_There’s More Danger in a Reserv’d and Silent, then in a Noisie, Babbling
Enemy._
