CONSULTATION.
by Robert Herrick


CONSULT ere thou begin'st ;  that done, go on
With all wise speed for execution.



    Consult, take counsel.   The word  and  the epigram are
suggested  by  Sallust's   “ Nam  et,  prius  quam  incipias,
consulto, et ub consulueris, mature facto opus est,” Cat. i.
